At the onset, the client gave us only his business idea. We being a web development company created it as a website for his business and transformed his thoughts to reality. In its current stage the site displays the informative snippets to gaze the visitors. The website also categorically displays stores, stores with deals and discounts in and around Kolkata.

We look forward to make this a full blown website in near future.

According to their needs, we re-designed the website and developed it using CMS (content management system). Since they already had a website the text matter was re-used. But then they were lacking on activities and on image galleries part, so they wanted us to focus on it which took a bit time to get all the data since as a NGO they had to collect the data from their different branches. We are really grateful to the coordinator who was very helpful. At regular intervals they gave time to our designers so that the work could be progressed successfully.

The main intention of the organization to re-design the website is to bring a modern look and feel from the old one. So to add some more to it, we added social networking icons anchored with respective id’s has been incorporated on the website. Since social networking plays an important role on website promotion, it’s just an added feature that helps the organization promote their website and their work for the society.

Perfect Address primarily is a realty marketing company based in Kolkata. The company provides assistance to clients for buying, selling, rent properties in and around Kolkata. We started our work after we shared a brief idea with them. Since we have successfully designed and developed more than one real estate websites before, the initial discussion was easy. The design and the color preference of the website was their idea. They had their own logos. And this time they also had a very detailed idea on how they wanted their project pages and inquiry pages to be setup.

We do hope they are able to generate good amount of leads and visitors from their website . As a reader of our blog , we would be extremely grateful if you can put down a few comments as feedback on the website .

On the onset of web development work for the Kolkata , India based company , we knew that we were dealing with a very professional group of people. They had a clear understanding of their website requirements . The deliverables and expectations were well defined , and they gave us well prepared materials for their website. When our web designers created the initial design layout, they liked it right away also. Building up on a custom CMS and a database driven Store Finder took place in the next 7 days .

With the website completed such quickly, we are now almost ready to begin for their website promotion and another new website for the Wall Depot group of companies. It would be our great pleasure if you can take a look at their new website and leave any feedback on the same.

Website : Wall Depot Retail (India) Pvt. Ltd.

The first and foremost point here is that website is a form of Advertisement. Business’ which are controlled and operated by forward thinkers , people who have interest in leading among other business and have interest in business growth will consider such Advertisement a worthwhile expenditure.

Almost all forms of advertisements bear costs – be it in the print media such as Newspapers and Magazines . In a metropolitan city like Kolkata, cost of such an advertisement is often quite high. Comparatively, total cost of having a 10-15 page website would be lower.

And in actuality, we have been seeing more and more small to medium size business, shop owners and professionals have been finding the exposure that has been received by their competitors, who already have websites are tremendous. Some of our clients include punjabi shops, budget hotels, imported tiles distributors. In all these cases, we did not have to explain the need for a website, rather the client came with their own vision as to why they wanted a website and what they expected from it.

Not to mention, that in my last count I found almost over 300 web design companies in Kolkata and numerous freelancer web designers.  With such a high provider count , the market for web design and development surely is booming. It is only upto you , the visitor – to stop thinking and start contacting a professional web development company like WEBSYS.

When you choose your new outsourcing vendor , you better make sure your outsourced partner is aware and is ready to take care of these points and probably more – and Language will not be a TRUE BARRIER .

A few years back even there used to be dedicated portals for different topics and subjects providing detailed tutorials expressing step by step instructions for numerous techniques and problems . I have learnt photoshop from reading many a tutorial from Pixel2life , Spoonno many a time. In the current day, blogs have replaced most of such sites … people still provide tutorials but now through blogs, with not just the steps or instructions but also expressing there viewpoints and comparing it with related ones. Forums also help in the learning process , even though in a scattered way and often by just posting snippets of code or via to and fro by several members / readers.

So are books still a viable source for knowledge – primarily in the case of web development topics ? Why should they be still be considered as an alternative ? Is it worthwhile to spend around 30-100 USD on a hard bound book when simmilar knowledge can be obtained for free just by using 2-3 hours on the internet ?

For one thing , books are printed material which can be carried anywhere and does not require an internet connectivity or the PC where you might have downloaded the tutorial . Since it is a physical item , you do not have to worry about the blog / website from being inaccessible / down . Books are something that you own and you don’t have to search for it everytime you are in need of the reference. ( It has often been my experience , quite frustratingly , that the blog / site i was reading is inaccessible , even though i agree really large sites has less downtime ). Books are also very planned and compact , which is hardly the case for forums topics / comments and somewhat also possible in blogs . Even though good blogs are often nicely categorised and cataloged , they do not compare with the structure and systematic disbursement of the topic in the case of a hard bound book. You may often find a random good article on one topic in a blog , but you are more likely to find constantly coherent advice if the book is by a good author . Books also lack the problem of missing images , and extremely disturbing adverts all over the place ( as always accompanies by any popular website / blog ). A blog or forum can also be plagued by various distracting and often irritating comments by spammers of less qualified webmasters. And finally and quite importantly , a book requires much more attention and interest to read through where as seeing a blog , a developer might be tempted to simply grab and copy paste the required code and use it in his project and not actually learn anything worthwhile from author; whereas in the case of a book, even if someone tries the same , he would have to type it out and in the process might even learn something

Saying all this , i am not trying to say that books are better than blogs or forums or anything of that sort , but i do believe that books do still provide lots of value to a person who is still in the process of learning – especially web development and designing. In the past 2 years , i have bought multiple web development books from Sitepoint.com , Packtpub.com and Amazon.com and we have bee creating our own collection of books , which is available for all our designers here at Websys.
