A good website design and development tips

It is simple, some websites work while others don't and become annoying or useless to their viewers. As a professional web design business, we have created and re-created many sites. The "great" ones have certain things in common. Ezeelive has some useful tips to help you design a successful website :

1.   It is important that your website design is simple and easy to navigate and use. It is also important to note that websites should be clear of clutter and unnecessary design elements. Websites should still be attractive and memorable.

2.   To keep the viewers on your site, your website should download quickly. If your viewer is kept waiting for extended periods of time, they will become frustrated and take their business elsewhere. To reduce the time it takes to download your website, consider the following:

A)  Minimize the elements that increase the file size. These include graphics, flash and scripts

B)  Optimize your HTML and script code. This means you need to get rid of unwanted and unused scripts and tags - your web developer should do this.

C)  Maximize content area

D)  Keep the design simple

3.   It is important that you design a website that is suitable for all screen resolutions. This means that the amount of scrolling needs to be reduced. Also if your website becomes unattractive from one resolution to another, potential clients might click out of your website before they know what you are offering and are all about.

4.   The color of the background needs to make it easier for the viewer to read the text, not more difficult. Examples of colors that do not work well together include red text on a blue background. It is best to use dark text on a light background. The colors used should be suitable for the nature of your website. Some examples include professional, personal or for children.

5.   Popup windows are a big no-no. They irritate the reader and can cause you to lose business. It is also important to note that too many adverts on a page can be annoying especially if they break up important or interesting text. Too many adverts can make the page very cluttered and busy.

6.   Keep the website current and up to date. Let us help you develop an awesome website with all the latest and stable techniques and programs.

7.   It is important that all design elements are considered when designing a website. These include font design, color and size as well as pictures and other illustrations. These design elements need to complement each other and not clash.

8.   Using white space is very important on your website. This makes it easier to read, manage and explore. It also makes the page appear neat, tidy and easy to read.

9.   To ensure that your website is working as it should, be sure to update and test your website regularly.

10.   The content on your website is mainly what your clients are after. Ensure that the content is informative, concise, relevant, appealing and easy to read.

11.   Keep your target audience in mind. Think about the people who would be interested in visiting your Web site.

12.   Provide a form for visitors to contact you. Visitors are more likely to fill out a form to contact you than clicking on an e-mail link. Always make things easy for your visitors... especially contacting you.

13.   Browser compatible. Check your Web site in the most popular browsers to make sure everything is displayed properly. The top two browsers used are Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, but there are others such as the Chrome, Internet Explorer all the versions, Firefox, Safari, AOL browser, Opera and Web TV to name a few. Various versions of the same browser also display differently. It is a good idea to have a program on your computer that checks browser and version compatibility.

12.   Validate website Html, Css, JavaScript, Using W3C Markup Validation Services.

In the last

These tips are handy and necessary when considering designing or upgrading your website. They will ensure that you are on your way to a winning website design.

Gmail new look with features

After the arrival of Google+, Google is now concentrating on the appearance of all the Google services. Already Google.com and Gmail Interface got the Google+ look, now the Gmail Login page got the new look of Google+.Now carefully analyzing the new design, we see the left side of the page pretty similar. However the real changes are made on the top side of the page, which has now “Google” image icon at the left side, and on the right there is given an option to “Create an account”.


New Features :

1.  Mail, Contacts, and Tasks links have moved to the top left of Gmail.
2.  Compose mail is now a button rather than a link.
3.  A smaller header area puts the first message in your inbox about 16 pixels higher on the screen.
4.  The Select All, None, Read, Unread, and Starred links that used to be above your messages are now options in a drop-down menu, next to the Archive button.
5.  Contacts work a lot more like Mail. Keyboard shortcuts now work in Contacts too, and we’ve made selecting and grouping contacts more like selecting and labeling email.
6.  Sort contacts by last name. Look under More actions for this option.
7.  Use custom labels for phone numbers and other fields. For example, you can label a phone number as “Vacation home.” Please be aware, ActiveSync for iPhone and Blackberry Sync don’t yet support custom labels so custom labeled numbers/emails/etc. may not appear on your phone.
8.  Undo. Now, when you make changes to your contacts, you can undo your recent changes.
9.  Automatic saving. You no longer need to worry about “edit” mode or “view” mode -- just edit away and Gmail will save your changes.
10. Structured name fields. You can now set name components (i.e. Title, First, Middle, Last and Suffix) explicitly or continue to use the name field as a free form area if you prefer a less structured approach.
11. Manual and bulk contact merge. You can now merge contacts from the More actions menu. Just select the contacts you’d like to merge and select Merge contacts from under the More actions menu. Or, to get a list of suggestions for contacts to merge, select Find and merge duplicates.

Memcache caching system and its advantages

Memcached was first developed by Brad Fitzpatrick for his website LiveJournal, on May 22, 2003. Memcached is a general-purpose distributed memory caching system that was originally developed by Danga Interactive for LiveJournal, but is now used by many other sites. It is often used to speed up dynamic database-driven websites by caching data and objects in RAM to reduce the number of times an external data source (such as a database or API) must be read. Memcached runs on Unix, Windows and MacOS etc.

The system is used by sites including YouTube, Reddit, Zynga, Facebook and Twitter. Heroku (now part of Salesforce) offers a NorthScale-managed memcached add-on service as part of their platform as a service. Google App Engine also offers a memcached service through an API. Memcached is also supported by some popular CMSs such as Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.

Most deployments of Memcached exist within trusted networks where clients may freely connect to any server. There are cases, however, where Memcached is deployed in untrusted networks or where administrators would like to exercise control over the clients that are connecting. For this purpose Memcached can be compiled with optional SASL authentication support. The SASL support requires the binary protocol.

LinkedIn India's subscriber base touches 10 mn

LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, with over 100 million members, started its operations in India in 2009. This included a local leadership team to drive the company’s marketing solutions and corporate solutions businesses. “As our members here continue to use LinkedIn for everything from networking and gaining business insights to business development and jobs, we are committed to being the exchange which connects talent to opportunity in India,” said Hari V Krishnan, country manager, LinkedIn India. India continues to be LinkedIn's second-largest user base.

Some brands that the networking site works with in India are Volkswagen, Jet Airways, CNN, ICICI Lombard and HopSim. These firms use LinkedIn’s marketing solutions to target advertising campaigns at professionals across various categories. LinkedIn claims its suit of corporate solutions has helped recruiters from blue chip companies like ING Vysya Bank, Genpact and HCL reduce the cost and time per hire in identifying and recruiting some of India’s best talent.

Many hold Facebook, Orkut and LinkedIn in the same league, and the growth of the site may well be a concern for its competitors. According to Vizisense, in the social networking segment, LinkedIn is the third-most visited site in India after Facebook and Orkut.
