Project Highlights

Maintain your website yourself:One of the primal fears of most people desiring a web presence is that of the ongoing high maintenance costs. Many are tired of depending on their webmasters to update a given page of the website or add a new one. The prime reason for such maintenance costs and dependency is that they do not have the technical know-how of using HTML tags, File transfer (FTP) softwares or image manipulation softwares such as Adobe Photoshop.
There have been expensive options of overcoming such hurdles and maintaining your websites yourself. These are popularly called Content management systems. Such systems define a format for the sections and pages of your website and then provide you a form to enter the relevant content. However, to change the format of these sections you require your webmaster again.
What I have for you is an interface as simple as composing an email to add/update content to your website with ability to place images and attach files.
Update your website from anywhere:Assuming that you know how to edit HTML, use FTP and photoshop..if you are a travelling sorts but still want to keep your website updated regularly, you might need to carry that laptop of yours everywhere with you. Or you might need to pray that the computer that's easily available to you has the necessary softwares installed.
Well.. what if I say you don't need to do that. What if you had an online web tool that allowed you to update your website from anywhere you get a computer and an internet connection? No dependency on proprietary softwares... And simple still.. what if I told you you could compose an email on your mobile phone and make that information appear on your website....
Have a self-maintaining menu:One of the key concerns that you might have while adding content to your website might be the fact that you have to update menus on all the web-pages to show that new content you have created. If your web master is smart he/she might have created a re-usable file that is called in each webpage. But you still don't want to dive into the code of that menu which might be in Java/ASP/PHP/Javascript and more..
You might think that I am trying to pull a big one on you here.. but what if I can provide you a self-maintaining menu that will show the content you have recently added to your website in the relevant section of the menu and also highlight it on the homepage....
Want an online shopping catalouge?So you have a small or mid size business and want to feature your products in an online catalouge but don't have the budget to keep a webmaster or a computer savvy employee to update the catalouge on a routine basis. That shouldn't stop you from having your own shopping catalouge that you can update and maintain yourself.
I can create a simple shopping catalouge for you with the following features:
- You can create as many categories and sub-categories of products on your website.
- You can make the same product appear in multiple categories of your website but enter it only once.
- You can add as many pictures of your product and not bother about creating a thumbnail or scaling down the image in an image manipulation software as that would happen automatically.
- If you wished to revise the price of a product or update its description or simply hide it from the catalouge becoz its sold you could do it buy just a few clicks.
- You can do all of the above from any computer around the world with a decent internet connection.
- Your product will appear in your catalouge the very moment you have entered all the information for it.
Yes.. I can do all this and more.... so just shoot an email or pick up that phone now....
