Are you thinking to you use Joomla for your next web design project? You might be thinking to hire a Joomla Web Development firm or outsource the tasks to any well known Joomla web developer.

There are thousands of options to develop a website but sometimes it becomes difficult to choose the one from the crowd. Here, in this blog post; we have included certain questions that will make this task easy for you.

So,let’s take a look at these things that one must cover before hiring any Joomla website development company:

1. Keep your website content ready: Have you written your website content? Or are you in search of a copywriter? It takes sufficient time to write good content for your website.Also, content is the base of any website. Google demands good quality content. So, the first thing is to keep the content ready. Certain websites have a standard content structure. One can make a site blueprint for the same and begin to write content accordingly.There are many firms that offer copywriting services. Get in touch with one of them.
2. Outline the functions that you need in your website: A website can have several functionalities. Most of the hours are required to identify the project need.Think how you want your website to be and what elements would you like to have on your site. It can be anything like as:
   • Blog Component
   • Photo gallery
   • Online store
   • Online surveys
   • Google Maps Integration
   • Social Media Integration
   • And lots more

   With the thorough understanding of the project; it will become easy for you to provide the quote.

3. Know the difference between Developer and Designer: Are you looking for developers or designers? You got confused, right? Yes, this happens with most of the people.
   

   A designer varies from developer in several ways. These are as follows:

   • Joomla Designer: Joomla website designers can create amazing websites and can use Joomla to manage the content. They can focus on many several things but the most important they will focus on great looking design, user experience as well as how the site gets bonded with the branding.
   • Joomla Developer: Joomla developer is the one who is capable of doing difficult coding as well as inner working of Joomla and its plugins, modules and components.In case you need customization done for Joomla shopping carts or other such elements then developer is the one with whom you can get in touch with and get the task done.

Questions one must ask a Joomla Web Design Company:

1. What you own when the Joomla site is developed?It is an important point to be discussed. Hence, it is necessary to understand the things that will be owned by you and that won’t be.Usually domain names will be set up by certain web design agencies. Along with this, they will offer hosting, email, analytics and other relevant elements on their own accounts.

   This should not be the case. You must own everything including a domain name, hosting service, email and analytics.

2. Within what time frame will the website get developed? The time taken to develop any website usually depends on the type of project. This includes the time for various things like design approval, copywriting, photos to be sent and all the necessary information that web designers use to develop a website for you.
3. Will your Joomla website be mobile friendly?Now days, mobile have deep importance. We can see everyone including you and me using mobile devices to surf internet or chat with friends using apps like Whatsapp.Hence, it is necessary for a website to be mobile friendly. So, always demand for responsive web design.
4. Billing Process for developing websites?Everyone works for money. Money is important in everyone’s life. Hence, it is necessary to get the billing details cleared before initiating the project.There are firms that have upfront payment process then there are those who take part in advance and part after completion of the work. So, understand the process completely to get bills as per your expectations.
5. What will you include in my Joomla website?Make sure to get it cleared as to what functionalities they are going to add in your Joomla website. You can also get several other additional functions added but it is advisable to know your own requirements before contacting the firm so that unnecessary wastage of time and resources is avoided.
6. What about SEO of my Joomla site?This is the question that every website owner asks for. Hence, it is necessary to understand the difference between SEO friendly and SEO optimized site.
   • SEO Friendly: This means that search engines will easily be able to crawl your website and get copies of the pages which can be used in the index. But it is not necessary that you will be visible in Google search results.
   • SEO Optimized: This means that your content and keywords are optimized via SEO copywriting and proper updation of title tags, description tags, internal links and other such elements on your website.
   • SEO Friendly is not always SEO Optimized: There’s huge difference between the two and few are aware of the same. SEO friendly doesn’t mean your website will rank #1 in Google.
7. What is your website security?Another useful question is how my Joomla website will be secure. Always know what developers are going to do to save your website from hackers.
8. Are there any ongoing costs involved?Joomla is available for free download. Hence, as such there are no ongoing costs apart from hosting service and domain name.In case, the firm is offering any additional services like SEO copywriting, Joomla support packs then these can have additional fees.
9. Who will be responsible for adding the content?This depends on the mutual agreement between you as well as the agency that you have hired for your website project.
10. Does the agency offer any additional support once the website is developed?
    
    Most of the companies offer limited support while some charge on hourly basis for each ticket you submit regarding any concern or query. So, know beforehand about the type of support your agency can provide you.

There are many such questions that one can ask before hiring any Joomla Web Development or Joomla web development company. This is it for now. We will definitely more details with you in our upcoming blogs.

Web Development is a wide field. It is a technical field and has lot of terms that a web developer must understand. Till now we have always discussed certain issues like as tips to choose a web developer, things to be taken care of in web development field and lots more.

Today, in this blog post; we will discuss about several web development terms that every web developer must be aware about. So, let’s take a look at these terms:

Web Development terms that must be known by Every Developer:

• HTML,CSS and JavaScript: We all know that HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark up Language. It is a language particularly used for describing web documents and web pages. It is a very basic language that offers a complete structure to its website.

  Alone HTML is not sufficient to develop an entire web page and in order to make it beautiful, the use of CSS (Cascading Style sheets) is necessary and to make the website responsive, JavaScript is required.

  So, a perfect combination of CSS, HTML and JavaScript makes an amazing website. These three must be used in proper proportion to provide a perfect look to the websites.

• Responsive Design: Today is the world of mobile devices. Everyone is using mobile to surf internet. This forced Google to develop a Mobile Friendly Algorithm based on which rankings will be given to the websites.

  Now, is the time where even if you want to stay away from mobile; you cannot because after air, water, food and shelter; mobile is the basic need for every living being. As a result, it is necessary to develop a responsive website with perfect user experience; the one that can run on any device without any error.

• Semantic HTML: It is one of the most important terms in web designing because it tells the browser about the content present in any element. Some basic mark up tags like

  , are widely used for this purpose.

• SaaS: This basically deals with various platforms that are offered to the users via an online network. Certain services like Google OneDrive and Microsoft Azure come under this.
• ARIA: It is used for Accessible Rich Internet Application. This helps users with different equipments to use web interface effectively. People with visual impairment need a narrating application.
• Information Architecture: Various web pages like Site map of a website are perfect examples of Information Architecture. This makes it easy for users to get an idea about the content available on the website and what it is all about.

  This can be seen as systematic organization of the website data.

• Server Side Scripting: This technique is used by web developers to deploy scripts on web servers. PHP and ASP.net languages are used mainly for this purpose.
• Visual hierarchy: This is a complete arrangement of web elements as well as web page content as per its importance. Several methods of using bigger size, bright colours are used to make these things important as well as eye catching ones.
• Infinite and Parallax Scrolling: These are somewhat different terms and are often same in a web page. In infinite scrolling; all of the content is loaded on single page instead of on different pages.

  The parallax scrolling provides an effect to the webpage that offers page movement along with scrolling.

Wind Up:

So, these are the few important terms that every web developer must be aware of. For more such interesting terms, stay tuned with Softqube Technologies, Web Development Company India.

Online industry is growing by leaps and bounds. It is like a nightmare to many businesses because several businesses are struggling to keep up with the ongoing changes. Here, the ages old rule ‘Survival of the fittest” applies perfectly.

If you can get something exceptional or something that your consumers have never even thought of then you are ahead of many sellers. In IT industry, the competition is very tight and dangerous. Hence, it is necessary to think of innovative and creative ways to attract your audience.

The reason; they will be expecting something different from your every time. Branding is the new concept in digital marketing field and it is the only way to influence people in the virtual world. Just you need to showcase the best of your creativity and you will get success in the virtual world.

Websites are a true medium through which business can boost its brand thus crossing all the geographical barriers. So, it’s necessary to create a website which includes state of the art technology.

This shows how influential your brand is and how it attracts the clients thus transforming leads into customers. Website is the identity of your business. People visit it and move on. Some people get the services that they were in need of while some search for solutions, products which can fix their problems.

So, in short we can say that website is a place that fulfils the needs of customers. This will lead to a thought that you must hire someone to develop a website. But before hiring someone; you need to know about your business requirements and then select a web designer.

Research and analyze what happens around you however before that you must understand the difference between the firms that offer business specific solutions and kinds of services in which they specialize.

What to choose: Web Development Agency or Freelancer?

First of all, you must have a basic idea of how web development agencies work? If you are unaware of this, they you may not grab all the possibilities that help you to achieve success. Generally, business owners are unsure of what will help them to achieve success and this leads to wrong decisions.

So, if you are choosing a free lancer to do your web development tasks then you must know that they may be able to provide you a single solution for a web design but then you may not get solution as to how to increase conversions for a fully functional website.

How can it be promoted? How will people know about your site? Such things hold back your website from being completely visible to people. Several other sources like as photographers, illustrators, data entry operators, creative marketing executives are responsible for making a site creative, attractive as well as responsive enough to be liked by all.

So, what you should expect from a Freelancer as well as a Web Development Agency?

• Know your business needs: Before actually hiring any web development agency or a freelancer, it is necessary that you must be aware about your business requirements. Purpose, functionality and size of the business are the main aspects that one must consider.

  Larger businesses have huge requirements and there is several numbers of factors that must be considered and fulfilled when you design a website. Let’s say if you are a huge eCommerce website of international level then you might have lots of requirements which are to be fulfilled.

  Things like managing product inventory, design aspects etc should be impressive enough to get more customers, secure payment gateways, server maintenance, content and all the important aspects of designing and programming must be implemented.

  This is possible only with proper team which can take care of all such services. Freelancers usually find it difficult to develop a project within a given time frame as they have less resources and expertise.

  Keeping this thing in mind; we can say that a development agency can easily meet these three major aspects of the business while freelancers might struggle to fulfill these requirements.

• Effective Communication: At every stage of development process; it is necessary to have someone who will communicate with you and also discuss the further requirements along with considering the valuable suggestions.

  On the other hand, web development agency possesses a huge team that operates across the various sectors of a single website and no miscommunication occurs. The project manager is responsible for client communication.

  He/she keeps on updating you about the project status at regular intervals. These managers have good knowledge of project flow and are experts in software engineering. Companies have real time software updaters which will offer timely updates about the project status.

  Whereas talking about freelancers, every part is with different individual and so different people will communicate differently. This creates a communication gap which cannot be filled and you will not be updated with regular information.

  Hence, in terms of communication as well; a web development agency serves to be the best option.

• Time and efficiency: Web development agency possesses all the necessary resources and can do anything to fulfil your needs. In case the company feels that yours is a time consuming project then will inform you before hand and they will also hire more experts to get the work done within stipulated time frame.

  While some freelancers may or may not be comfortable with the given time frame and they have limited sources because they may work on several projects at the same time. This will affect the efficiency of your projects. Freelancers cannot handle emergencies.

  Here also, we can say that it is advisable to hire a web development agency for getting your website as well as web applications developed from experts.

Apart from those mentioned here; there are many more factors that play an important role in making a selection between a freelancer and a web development agency. We will discuss them all at ease.

This is it for now. If you have any such more details or would like to share your experience then you can get in touch with us. So, stay tuned with Softqube technologies; a well known Web development Company in India where all of your needs will be met easily by experts.

There are certain problems which make us realise that IT security is not as simple as offering new security solutions and technologies. IT security requires basic fundamental overhaul which begin with underlying components, individual components and dated pieces.

Models which show “One size fits all” are too simplified and every organization must understand how its business breaks down in different components. Certain security practices fit against various business requirements. Good basic security must be a part of any business.

What should be done next?

One of the biggest short term challenges is to know how your IT security as well as online business models matches up with each other. For various corporate IT security teams, internal IT as well as data requirements are much easier to understand and mark down.

As we all know, data remains in one place for production use which limits the attack surface. However when we connect with current IT infrastructures to the internet then we get connected with a very hostile network that introduces other moving parts which might get involved in getting that data into various production systems.

The servers held such data which is essential for the business. The corporate security plan will not seem to include data outposts. This is a good example where different teams in IT field are responsible for certain areas of technology which can then lead to various security gaps as well as data isolation.

Company’s web infrastructure is the perfect model for this effect where web servers are under control of the infrastructure team while the applications and data are controlled by development but must be included in security model.

In order to make this easier, the security team must have complete view of all IT assets as well as infrastructure which exists and also all the applications which are hosted on these systems. The asset list offers an overview of all the software, operating systems and hardware which is implemented and used.

This seems like an obvious point for companies which have been brought up on ITIL and Configuration Management databases. Not every company has adopted some of the best practices involved but this often gets left to IT service management team instead of being something that the entire IT organization utilizes.

For certain companies which don’t have list in this place, it is necessary to implement the system to collect data from all servers, endpoints and web applications. This should cover complete business including any web infrastructure which might normally be the concept of marketing and web teams instead of IT.

Getting this asset list in place and constantly updating it in order to look for vulnerabilities or necessary patches can ensure the IT security team to be ahead of problems.

What one must do for Future?

Web application security needs different skill set as compared to traditional infrastructure security approach. A great deal of expertise is needed to control security policies around various web applications while organizations deploying tools such as web application fire walls avoid to accept certain approaches which are iterative and cause production outages or delays.

An idea that application development teams are responsible for combining these applications consider that security in the initial stages is not as accurate as everyone else likes. The emphasis is on working code and speed of delivery instead of security.

It is necessary that security thinking is added back into application development approaches. This secure by design approach can live alongside the faster development as well as implementation cycles that are required by the business.

Wind Up

When it comes to web security; the web app itself can carry on functioning and serving customer requests. In the mean time; web app team can apply required updates or fix all the problems available at present.

For traditional IT infrastructure, the approach of fixing the engine in the flight is not possible. However, this is necessary for web applications.

There are times when you are full of work pressure and you have lots of tasks to be completed before the deadline and the last month is left to finish the projects. Clients are howling on you and in any way you want to finish the project.

Just imagine the situation. How messy it is? And at such times instead of using your own imagination and designing the icons, you start using readymade fonts available. This means now at the end moment just to finish the tasks, you are creating the website using automatic tools.

This instead of helping you to develop an amazing website will just give you an output with a design that might be available in the market.

So, here are some ways through which you can finish your projects easily and that too with an amazing design.

Ways to Develop Attractive Websites within less time:

• Use different Icon Styles: Yes agreed that within short span of time and under pressure, it is impossible to create your style font. However, instead of using the same old font style, try using different font styles.

  Different web pages have different demands. On some pages, we need to use large icons with necessary text blocks. This means that further text context is to be added which can easily explain things to the user.

  

  Here, we fail to achieve the goal and instead of being different; our website becomes generic. So, in order to look different and develop a strong way of establishing a memorable brand it is necessary to create a style guide for every serious business.

  The bottom line is to avoid using same fonts again and again and do some research for other text fonts.

  Some useful and attractive Font icons will be easily available at various design market places like as Creative Market and UI8. You can innumerable types of icons at reasonable rates.

• Avoid following the rat Race: We know today Flat web design is the market trend but it is not necessary that every website you design must have flat design. It’s not always necessary to use the trend in all websites.

  This applies to Google Material Design as well. So, always choose the tool that is compatible to you and which suits the task perfectly. An expert web designer will be able to compare both and decide the one that is suitable on a basic level.

  Both styles come with own set of suggested fonts and colours. So, now decide which one to use keeping in mind your needs.

  Don’t adopt complete set of principles but keep in mind these principles as they will be helpful to you in one or the other project. Use these styles as a breeding ground for new designs to get generated in mind.

• If possible avoid using Full Screen Headers: Lets’ say you are designing a website by using same old fonts as well as same start up stocks and the same old rounded ghost buttons. These are just there without any meaning.

  It’s simply a waste of time as these don’t deliver anything to your business and also don’t reveal anything about the same. This is an opportunity that is wasted. So, how these headers are used at their best?

  These can be used to compel customers to take action. This will motivate users to spend their valuable time by learning more about what you are going to sell. One can add a simple conversion button on the header however just making it the centre of focus of your website is useless.

  Hence, if you are able to explain your website in one or two sentences and provide some thoughtful reasons to buy your product then just add a simple conversion button as there’s no need of adding big headers. Just use simple ways such as FAQ section through which users can easily contact you.

Trends bring struggles because designers have to have their hands on latest trends and they must be able to create anything and everything as per the latest trends.

We usually fall in love with the simplicity of the design and sometimes we tend to overuse some design aesthetics. This leads to the development of websites that have no identity. We look at the design and think that it is really cool.

But sometimes we fail to understand what makes it really cool and without understanding the fact, we try to make similar designs thus expecting the same effectiveness and this leads to disappointment.

So, next time when you wish to develop a website; avoid using those robotic designs and try to create one as per your own choice. This will help you to develop websites as per your choice.
