The most important part of any online business is its website. So, while developing it; lots of things are to be taken care of such as design, content, website development partner and lots more.

Yes, of course; to make your money worth; it is necessary to get the website designed by experts or hire a well known web design company because website investment is considered to be one of the critical business decisions.

So, it is advisable to outsource your website development project to any of such development firms as professionals available there can guide you in a proper way. Now, the thing is how to select a website development company or we can say partner?

What things must be borne in mind? Is it experience, is it their portfolio or is it their team of professionals.

Well, all these are of prime importance however still we have more such factors which we must consider while hiring a web developer. These factors are as follows:

Factors to be considered while hiring professional web developers:

• Know whether they have understood your business or not: Designers must focus on the business brand. If the website has perfect design then the website should reveal brand’s feel, culture as well as values.

  And to include all these things in a proper manner; it is necessary that these should be displayed perfectly on the website. For this developers must ask questions about your business.

  If h/she fails to do so then be cautious they might not be interested in your brand because here eagerness to know one’s business thoroughly is one’s key to success in developing a perfect website that matches the needs.

• Why is the website being prepared? Not all people have the same motto for getting the website designed, different people have different purpose and so before initiating the task; it is of utmost importance to know the goal or objective of the business behind getting the website developed.

  In short, website should be such that it must support you.

• Take a look at their previous works: Yes, asking for their previous projects or portfolio is an excellent way to identify their skills and take proper judgement regarding whether they will be able to work with you or not.

  Or are they perfect for you. If you find that their experience or previously created designs don’t match your needs then you can simply continue your search for website developers.

• How much SEO experience do they have? I feel SEO and design are the two sides of the same coin. Yes, content matters a lot but what if your website is not visible in search engines or suppose if it’s available but it’s design is not good? Do you think will anyone stay on your site to read the content and know about you?

  Absolutely no; hence it is of prime importance to develop a website with rich SEO. So, always hunt for those website development firms who have proper knowledge of developing a website with powerful SEO.

• Website quality should be worthy of investment: Website is a virtual asset of any company. So, before investing in it ; think thousand times because every month you are not going to get it altered.

  It is one time investment that can yield returns for several years. Yes, it can be updated to match the latest trends but again it is developed from the scratch only once. So, always check that you get perfect quality against your investment.

  It will take lots of time to do research about this but then you will find the research was required because such decisions are not the hard and fast ones. So, gather as much information as you can and then decide whom to assign the project.

• Check their experience: There are some web development firms who have expertise in developing sites only on one single platform. So, if that matches your need you can go further however if you are looking for the one that can create a site on any damn platform then you find those that have experience in creating websites on multiple platforms.

  Also, make sure that they provide proper customer support because once you deal with any
  Web development firm then it’s a long term relation between the firm and you. So, anytime you need help you must be able to get it quickly.

  And this is only possible if the firm excels in offering proper customer support even while the website is getting developed and also after that.

• Is there any need of support once the website is developed? Once the website is developed then it is to be properly maintained as well as constantly updated. This can be done only if there’s proper communication between the developer as well as business.

  Make sure that all the information is shared so that transparency is maintained and website runs smoothly. It is to be decided that who will manage the site and then according to that one can set up an ongoing content calendar so that the website is updated on regular basis.

  Nowdays, websites are considered as useful commodities instead of those other business tools. So, it is necessary to make proper use of time and get in touch with few different firms so as to make sure that you get a perfect website development partner which helps you to lead the path of success.

We can see that most of the digital content is managed by web applications. Nearly every organization has a well developed powerful management platform to manage its digital content and some are looking for such web applications which can ease their task.

Among the widely used web applications; CMS or we can say content management systems are highly in demand. The CMS based web applications offer advantages which separate them from normally used traditional web based applications.

So, what makes it advantageous to use CMS based content management system? Let’s know about some of its advantages:

Benefits of CMS based web application:

• Can easily develop dynamic digital content
• Specific separation between content and design
• Ease of extending the functionality of the web application.

Keeping in mind these advantages, several organizations have shifted their traditional web applications to CMS based web applications.

This shifting is done using the process known as Architecture driven migration. So, what is this method and how can it be performed? Let’s take a look at this:

ADM based migration method:

This method is presented based on ADM principles. It is a reengineering process that includes three classical stages viz: 1) reverse engineering stage 2) restructuring stage 3) Forward engineering stage. These stages and tasks are included in the process.

1. Reverse Engineering Stage: This includes three tasks: refining the knowledge from PHP code as well as modelling language that allows representation of syntax and semantics of PHP code in non ambiguous way at platform specific level.
2. Restructuring stage: The CMS model is restructured by keeping in mind the specific features of the target CMS platform. From this restructured model; it is possible to get the implementation of migrated web application into a new CMS platform.
3. Forward Engineering Stage: This stage shows classical top down software development process having three tasks: a) developing target based KDM models. B) Creating ASTM_ PHP models. C) Code generation models.

Web engineering has five main elements which are as follows:

• Navigation: It includes those elements which are responsible for defining the navigation structure of the web application.
• Presentation: This defines the structure as well as look and feel of pages which are included in the web application. Here, two elements are included which are: Theme and Region.
• Content: It catches the data as well as data types which are managed by CMS based web application. Here, elements like as Content, Term or Vocabulary are created among others.
• User: It shows the elements which are related to the roles and permissions that are assigned to the users of CMS based web applications. These elements show the navigation of the website as well as the use of web application by a perfect user.

Let’s understand the ADM based migration model with this case study:

Case Study:

Here, we have migrated a small widget from traditional web application to CMS based web application using Drupal. This web application is of a wellness and nutrition centre that provides users with information about diets, exercises and recommendations about healthy habits.

This web application had the widget in traditional web application and it was to be shifted to the CMS based web application system in Drupal.

This was done by extracting an ASTM_PHP model from PHP code and then KDM model was generated automatically with the help of M2M transformation which was implemented in ATL.

In this way, a small widget was replaced from traditional web application to the CMS based one.

Another way to replace is via ASTM_ PHP DSL model:

Here, we represent ASTM_PHP DSL which is modelling language that includes the definition of models for particular platforms which represents syntax as well as semantics of PHP code.

Now, here the implementation requires two tasks : Definition of abstract syntax by ASTM_PHP meta model and the explanation of fixed syntax by using the graphical editor that allows to define graphical models.

Using ASTM_PHP models for the transformation:

The transformation using these models is another way to shift traditional web application to CMS based web application. Here, the main objective is to boost the abstraction level of the ASTM_PHP models by developing a platform independent model.

These M2M transformations are set with particular rules which are defined at meta model levels. This implementation can be done with two tasks: a) definition of transformation rules in natural language b) implementing these rules.

These rules will be converted to their natural language where first and second columns show the elements that belong to ASTM_PHP meta models while others refer to elements of KDM meta models.

First of all, one element of ASTP_PHP meta model is mapped to one element of KDM meta model. Here, the main attributes are export, name and code Element. The attribute export represents method visibility.

Once this is done, then comes the time to transfer the parameters passed to a function represented by the element FormalParameter Definition. The value of this attribute is mapped from attribute identifier Name of the element.

The attribute type then defines the parameter data type as well as its value taken from attribute definition type of the element Formal Parameter definition.

This table shows the mapping between ASTM_PHP model and KDM model. Here, the first column shows the element source while the second column refers to the target element and the third column displays transformation rule which is implemented in ATL. The fourth column shows whether the element is properly or not. If these elements are matched properly then the transformation is successful.

Day by day, the use of digital content is increasing. Several organizations show the necessity of using powerful platforms to manage huge amount of content in a reliable manner. So, here the widely used solution is Content management system.

This migration has led to many risks as well as organization costs. In order to support this migration process, the traditional web based application is transformed into web application based on content management system by using various models and automated transformations.

This blog post represented both the ways of transferring traditional web application to CMS based application.

Web Components are the features that are most useful in web development. These components are as follows:

• Shadow DOM
• Template
• Custom Elements
• HTML imports.

We will discuss about these components in detail here. So, let’s begin our journey:

Web Components:

Most of the people are not completely familiar with these web components and there are some who speculate little bit about them. Using components is a very old web practice but now this is again coming into trend.

Today, web applications are very much complex and these are mostly managed on the server by dividing the application in different pages where every page requires user navigation to navigate the browser from one page to another.

Using Java and other related capabilities, the need to navigate from different web pages has reduced to an extent. For some common situations like as reading email or news, users have very few expectations.

Once you login to your email then you might be running your email application from a very single URL and be there on the same page the whole day. Client side web applications can be more complex.

A very useful solution to solve this complexity is to use sufficient components and leave logic for a single web page or document. The goal of every web component is to reduce complexity so that functions can be performed within a single page context.

How components can be used?

Web components must include HTML, CSS and JavaScript. These models are currently supported by technology that is contributed to various scenarios which are useful to maintain the web components.
Such independent isolation models consist of:

• CSS style isolation
• JavaScript and Scopes
• Global object isolation
• Element encapsulation

Let’s understand these in detail:

• CSS style isolation: Components cannot be used natively in CSS today. A component model must support some ways to separate certain sets of CSS from another in such a way that rules of both sets don’t interfere with each other.Component styles must be applied to the required parts of the components. In a separate style sheet, CSS styles are applied to the document with necessary selectors. These selectors are considered in such a way that it should be easily applied to the complete document.Hence, there reach is completely global. This can sometime lead to real conflicts when several contributors of any project put CSS files together. Duplicate selectors must have well established presence.

  This problem has several solutions and among these, one is to transfer elements as well as related styles of single component from primary document to a very different document. This seems awkward to completely rely on JavaScript for settling styles over the boundary which seems like a gap in CSS.

• JavaScript and Scopes: All the Java Scripts used in any web page can access the same shared global object. Similar to any other programming language, JavaScript has offers a degree of privacy for certain function codes.These scopes are used to separate variables and functions from the global environment. At present, the module pattern in Java is used the most and it has emerged from a definite need for multi JavaScript frameworks that live together in a single global environment.Lexical scopes serve as the only isolation boundary code which can connect the contents of both scopes and the code outside the scope will not be able to approach the scope’s contents.

  The code in the lexical scope can hide itself from the environment. These JavaScript codes tend to offer a closing component in such a way that its contents are reasonably private.

• Global Object Isolation: There are certain codes which may not share access to the global environment. The examples of such codes are Ads and Ad frameworks. To assure the accuracy of Java code, one must run an untrusted code in a separate environment.An entire new global object is taken by the developers so that they can code without any concerns for other scripts and to do that the most popular tool called Worker can be used however this tool lacks the access to different elements.Several points are to be considered while designing a component. Isolated components are not developed completely till the initial set of web components is locked down. Global object isolation fills an important scenario for different web components.
• Element encapsulation: Different iframe elements such as object elements, framesets and imperative window.open() API has the ability to manage a subtree of separate elements. There are several components that function within the document, with iframe all the HTML documents are combined together in such a way that two different web applications are co located inside the other.Every element has a unique document URL, global scripting environment and CSS Scope. Each document is completely different from another. iFrames serve as the best form of componentization on the web.Using this code, different applications can be collaborated with each other. There are various websites that use iframes as a component to enable everything. JavaScript codes within one html document can breach into the isolation boundary of another document.

  This capacity to violate iframe’s isolation boundary can be a required feature but this can sometimes be a security risk at times when the iframe content includes sensitive information which cannot be shared with anybody.

These are the technologies that were used to improve HTML’s iframe features. But today, the scenario is totally different. The web components that are used today are as follows:

• Custom elements
• Shadow DOM
• Template element
• HTML imports
• Custom Properties

And those for coming generation are as follows:

• Declarative Shadow DOM
• Completely isolated components
• Accessibility primitives
• Specified native control styling
• CSS Parts styling
• Parser customization

Web components are those that completely transform the web and all the plans related to the support and journey will be discussed here. We hope that this blog post will be useful to all the web developers to understand web components deeply.

Today, when the audience using internet is increasing day by day; everyone is thinking to get online. If we see on the other side; there are people who have good profits even without any website but again these are approached by new start ups to have a website.

These start ups assure that having a website can actually boost revenue. But just a website can really do this? Do you think so? If it is true then I wonder why do many websites get shut down and even though those businesses having online presence earn less or fail to get projects as compared to those without a website?

The fact behind this is the quality work. Let’s say; you are in search of any service and you typed in Google “XYZ” service providers in “ABC” area. You got some quick results, you clicked on first five links.

Out of five, one is lacking proper design; one is having content with grammatical mistakes, one’s website is taking too much time to get loaded. So, whom do you think will you approach to get the services? The answer here would be none of them.

Why because there’s an impression in your mind that if their own website is having such errors then how can they develop a professional website for you? This leads to a thought in mind “What should a professional website look like?

Here, in this blog post; you will get the answer to this question and yes you can also use this to identify whether a website really possesses a professional look or not?

Let’s begin:

A professional website must have an elegant look which tempts visitors to visit it and stay connected. So, what elements must be considered to give a proper professional look to any website? This will be easily understood with this example:

If you take a look at this project; you will find how website developers have actually created this site giving it an ultimate professional look. It will showcase all the elements that a business website must have. These are as follows:

• Proper Fonts: Here, you can see this website has fonts that are easily readable and users don’t have to stress themselves to read the website content. Fonts must match the company style which makes website look distinctive from competitors.
• Huge Images: Text based websites are preferred however images are used to keep visitors stuck to your site. Using huge images like as here an image of a huge car is used will make the website specific in itself thus separating it from the crowd.

  It will also be useful to build credibility and get more users.

• Background: Background must be simple. Just take a look at this website and you will see it has a very simple background having a simple colour which soothes our eyes. Further, the back ground must reveal the brand image.
• Provide sufficient information for your business: When you see the link mentioned above, you will find that the website contains sufficient information about the business. This will make easy for users to know everything about your business and then they can understand your services in a better way.
• Keep Design and Logos as simple as possible: The website must be very clean and must possess simple designs as well as logos that are easily understood by people. Further, the colour scheme must also match the business industry.

  Avoid using too many bright colours, keep it lovely, peaceful with eye catching colours.

Recently, the use of public cloud services has increased and it has made deep impact to all the fields of IT industry. The trends and features of cloud services cannot be ignored. Platform as a Service also known as PaaS is an amazing feature of web development.

Slowly, the spending on this feature is going to increase to $20 billion and it will still continue to increase. Hence, now it becomes mandatory for all web developers to properly understand this technology and its use.

So, what exactly PaaS is? This blog post from Softqube Technologies, well known web development company India will describe everything about this technology. Here, you will get perfect information about this incredible technology.

What is Platform- as – a Service (PaaS)?

When you are working with cloud services; you will frequently come across such acronyms. Cloud services provide features such as high end security to all the networks for worldwide reach. It is the service model that makes these services highly accessible.

One of the service models is IaaS- Infrastructure as a Service. It represents a complete physical infrastructure including computers and racks to climate controls as well as developing security which is sold to consumers on peruse basis.

Developing similar infrastructure can cost huge sum of money and hence it becomes easy to just purchase the same from the cloud services provider and hence the complete networking power is available at an affordable cost with remarkable advantages.

Some of the other well known services are SaaS referred as “Storage as a Service”. This offers binary data in the complete managed fashion. The list is unending and all these services show the use of service model.

Out of all these, Platform- as – a- Service is one such useful platform that offers useful services and is widely adopted by all. This manages everything including software infrastructure. Everything from operating systems, security patches, server software are all managed by experts available with the provider of cloud services at no extra usage or set up costs.

When your web application possesses PaaS then one can focus deeply on development and can easily delegate the solutions to a well managed platform in few minutes.

Features of Platform as a Service:

Cloud service providers can gain the advantage of Dynamic Scaling; an important feature with the use of PaaS. This means that one can easily adjust the implementation of underlying resources along with the necessary traffic patterns.

Be it any public holiday or a weekend, with PaaS things can be performed anytime anywhere thus saving huge time and money. With PaaS, extra traffic can be responded easily and additional servers can be used to manage the load.

When the traffic is less, dynamic scaling adjusts itself to it. Hence, one won’t pay for extra service when it is not used. Such systems provide huge comfort to the web developers and they can relax completely.

So, are you ready to make use of cloud services? Here are some well known cloud service providers:

• Amazon’s Elastic Beanstalk
• Microsoft’s Web Apps
• Google’s App Engine

Do you think Web development is very easy? Do you think there’s no need of an expert web developer? Well, it’s time to re think about the same. If you are just a beginner in your business, at the initial stages; you can spend sufficient time to do development tasks yourself however with passage of time when work burden will be more; you may feel the need to hire expert web developers.

Not everyone feels like it is worth investing dollars behind web developers. But this is necessary if you want to solely focus on your business and lead to the path of progress because if you focus on everything then we fear that your business may be a complete mess.

Here, we will discuss about the importance of professional web development services and why you must opt for them?

Why there’s a need for Professional web development services?

• Professional Services lead to First Positive Impression: A touch from expert and the work from a novice can be clearly seen and can be easily differentiated. In case you are experimenting with your website or using any software to get your website developed then chances are there that your website or we can say web application may fail to leave a strong impression on your clients.

  No sooner any visitor visits website they quickly judge who you are and what you are? Hence, their first opinion is entirely based on the look and feel of your website. Image, design says it all and then comes the time to know about your services or products.

  A layman if finds that your website has a poor design then it may leave your website without even knowing what services you offer!

  So, the decision is yours. Do you want visitors to move away without even knowing about your business or do you want them to stay glued to your site?

• Offers compatibility with latest technology: Let’s say you are a fresher in the field of web development then you may not be aware about the latest technology and this may lead to the development of the website that is not as per the latest trends.

  It is very necessary that your website or web application is developed as per the current trends and for the same; one has to decide what solutions will work the best for you. For instance, now is the trend for responsive web design hence your web application or website must be compatible with all the mobile devices.

  With Professional web development services, you can remain aware about the latest trends and these can be easily applied to your web design. This reduces the hassles of you staying updated because now it will be the work of professionals and not yours.

• Use of retina optimized images: Expert web developers will always use images that are clearly visible on high definition devices like as i-Phone while an average web developer may fail to do so.
• Your website becomes safe and secure: Coding when done from inexperienced developers can increase the chances of getting your website hacked even there may be difficulty in updating your website as it may go down.

  For a safe secure website, professional touch to any web application is mandatory. Such small issues are resolved quickly because experts have solutions to all problems.
