Web Graphic Design Trends in 2010 to 2011

There are always some kind of trends which become popular in graphic designers for some specific time period. I found some of them which I saw in most of new websites in 2010. These designs are great impact on web design firms. Most of these trends will continue in 2011 as there is not specif boundaries between these trends. Here is the list of four which I saw most the time:

Oversized Headers

Mostly found some attractive pictures in the headers or any flash animation. This design come makes web page more attractive when land on home page mostly it is invisible in secondary pages. Many websites keep it in very page but that is not good idea.

Big Images

This is also very popular which makes website look more appealing and attractive, but covers lot of area on frontage, good thing is that visitors don't forget the website that has big and attractive image on font page.

Modal Boxes like lightbox2

These boxes pop up when you see picture or mostly for small input forms. These are more attractive compare to static page forms or picture viewer. While interacting with this box main webpage become darker. One example from these is lightbox2 which is available free to impede in your website which makes life easier for web designers.

larger footers

Now most of the websites using over-sized footer, where they mostly include extra link which they are not appear in main menu or like some RSS feeds and other social media icons. It is also good for SEO perspectives.

Be Aware of Fake Claims by Web Designing Companies

There are thousands of web designing and developing companies in India, Pakistan Malaysia and other developing countries. Most of the them are claiming themselves the best companies in the world but truth is that many have just started their business just by developing their own website some which they show that they have existence. This number is increasing very fast as need of web development is increasing.

So be careful while choosing the company for web designing, what is present on their website is not always true, they mostly provide any number in US or UK which can be fake too. Some of them don't have that much good rank in Google Search but they work hard in SEO of their own website in early start. On the other hand it is also not always true that if they have just started the business they don't know about web development. I only advice you that be careful while making choosing web design firm for you.

Best way to check for their portfolio and also confirm that what they show in their portfolio is correct too, you can contact directly to that website which is in their portfolio. If the web design firm is located near to you better visit their site if you important project for web development.

Good luck for your hunt of web design company!

Three Popular Affiliates Programs

There can be infinite number affiliates programs on the Internet because Internet is growing too fast every website and company requires more and more visitors so I feel there is no limit for this websites link referring and the different type of programs also exist. Here are some most popular affiliates programs which exist nowadays on the Internet.

Pay Per Click

As name suggests in this programs the link provider will get payment on every click on the ad that they display on their website by the ad provider website. Most popular pay per click program is Google Adsense.

Pay Per Impression

In this kind of programs, payment is made on every time page was opened, the more website will be opened the more you will earn from your website but its rate is much lower compare to Pay Per click and Pay Per Sale.

Pay Per Sale

This is program is used by amazon and ebay and many other e-commerce website, In these programs website display link to e-commerce website, if visitor by something on that e-commerce website, referrer will get paid.

When you choose any of these programs, listed above, better research and plan well before it. All it depends which kind of website you have, you can decide by your content that which is better program for you.

I learned this from web designing and SEO experience.

How to Choose Best Web Designing Firm

Everyone can have their own approach to find good Web design firm, but I would like to tell you some things which I know that can help you find best company.

Firs of all it should be clear that best company is that which not only built good website but they can also maintain well their own projects if you need later in time, it also depends how big is your project is. If you don't have that much big project than web designing company is not big deal as you will reach them again for maintains in this case you should choose which is in terms of cost of project.

But if you have rather bigger web development project then never jump into cheaper deal and not choose which is most cost effective. In this situation here is checklist which you should see about company before assigning them your project.

• Size of the web designing company
• Brand popularity
• Company Portfolio (Its recent projects)
• Company location
• Cost of project
• Company's experience in your kind projects
• Cost of the Project
• Company's Google placement in search.

You need to consider all these points before choosing the company for your website project. You can have your own constrains too which can impact on your choice. You can also get help from other sources like your relations who can help you out, but ultimately you have to have to take the final decision.

Which is better for web designing, PHP or ASP.net

Many new web developer find it harder to choose between ASP.net and PHP, mostly used programing languages for server scripting languages for web designing. PHP and ASP both are server side programing languages. PHP is open-source and ASP. Net is develop and maintain by Microsoft.

Software Fight

In terms of cost PHP is totally free, on the other hand ASP.net requires commercial platform for Microsoft and in term of speed PHP is considered faster than ASP.net too.

PHP is platform independent so you can run on any platform but ASP.net runs only on Microsoft win32 plate form. PHP source is also available which makes it more flexible compare to ASP.net

ASP.net have some advantage too, if you want to integrate desktop application with web application than it should be your first choice. MSSQL and database technology is bigger than MySQL which is mostly used for PHP.

ASP and PHP comparison 

In conclusion, if you are looking for really big application and website altogether then ASP.net is better in web designing, But many Web designing firms used PHP too for this purpose too. But all other case PHP is better choice. 

Some important Drupal Modules for Website SEO

Today, I am gonna highlight some of the important Drupal modules which can help you for better SEO while website development. Most of the Web design firms already aware of these modules but I some of them are more important to discuss here.

Drupal SEO Friend

The Drupal SEO Friend module is meant to be used along side existing Drupal SEO modules to make them more effective. This module does not replace functionality available in the SEO Checklist and SEO Compliance Checker modules.

SEO Compliance Checker

The SEO Compliance Checker checks node content on search engine optimization upon its creation or modification. Whenever a publisher creates or modifies a node, the module performs a set of checks and gives the user a feedback on the compliance of the rules.

Pathauto module

The Pathauto module automatically generates path aliases for various kinds of content (nodes, categories, users) without requiring the user to manually specify the path alias. The aliases are based upon a "pattern" system which the administrator can control.

SEO Watcher

SEO Watcher is a module that searches specified keywords with major search engines and checks the rank of your site and competitive sites automatically and creates the reports.

Best of luck for your web designing.

What do you think the best website is?

According to me the best website have many qualities but every website is not a best website. First the content of the website is not so complected that the normal person can not understand. The structure of the website have not so complex because the website have complex prefecture having many error and pages are not working proper. Many Web Design Firm always make the simple and user friendly website. Color and design of the website is also attract the user to view the the whole site. 

But when your content have in simple language and informative then the users visited  again and again on your site. These things also depend on the good web designer. A good web designer take many precaution during the designing. The Web Designer  have also know how about the SEO. And design the site on the basis of search engine optimization. Then the site is the proper website.
Making the site is so easy but maintained  the site is so difficult. Proper updated the content on your website that make your site more valuable and user attract toward your website. If your site is well designed and user friendly then you can called the best website.
