Web Development
Believe it or not, Agriya has been involved with web development for global clients since well before the dot com bubble burst in 2000. Even way back then we were building dynamically driven websites, although we tended to use CGI instead of PHP which was still in its infancy.
It’s also a testament to how much PHP has grown and come along in the last 10 years as now CGI is reduced to obscurity – a language that couldn’t cut it for the web. Around 85% of our clients opt for PHP development over any other language.
Before the mid-nineties, no one had even heard of a web developer and you would have been forgiven for thinking that a webmaster was a spider. Two years ago you would never have heard of the job title “Social Media Manager”, yet today everyone from small businesses to fortune 100 companies are scrambling to hire someone like this. It begs the question; what jobs will the Internet create in the future.
Even in its short 20 year history, the World Wide Web has gone through many phases of web development. In the 90′s we saw a rush of people wanting static websites, by the late 90′s things had evolved and people wanted e-Commerce websites.
Around 2004 the Web 2.0 trend hit and businesses started to want dynamically driven websites that was user focused and allowed them to interact with the websites. Then we shifted to social network development and now our web development teams are working flat out on various group buying and micro-job type sites, like our Groupon Clone and Fiverr Clone scripts.
With each passing trend, the web has evolved. Our web developers take elements from all their past experience to help build the latest websites, so we see e-Commerce turn in to group buying with a healthy dosage of web 2.0 features and social networking ability.
So what does the future of web development hold? What is a web development company like Agriya focusing on? What are going to be the next trends after group buying and micro-jobs?
This is a difficult one to answer, but without a doubt it’s going to be a mashup between mobile, web and location based services. You can already see how sites like Foursquare are really blurring the lines between real world, web world, mobile and Internet. I’m sure we’re going to be getting a lot of requests soon from people asking for a Foursquare clone and customers asking to integrate or build brand new location based services in to their sites which interact with their users mobile devices via an application. So it may be that soon our web developers have to learn new skills to become mobile application developers.
What do you think is going to be the future of web development is going to be? What is going to be the next trend? Am I right in saying that the future is mobile based? Tell me your thoughts in the comments below.
3 steps to start a Website and run it
Step 1: Goal
Decide what type of website you need to launch, it may be a personal website, commercial website or non-profit organization website. Websites can be developed for anything like sharing ideas/thoughts, reviewing books, products or games, promoting products/services or offering information about a city, event, historical place, etc.
Step 2: Domain registration
In order to start a website, you need to register for a domain and get it hosted through a hosting company.
Just select a domain name that appropriately suits your website and check its availability with domain registrars like namecheap.com, sedo.com, godaddy.com etc. Most registrars charge around $ 15 – 35/year for registration and take one – three days for registration, and some of them offer hosting services at reasonable costs to place the domain on the internet.
You can choose a domain registrar that offers both domain registration and web hosting services, or register a domain with a registrar and choose any web hosting company for hosting the registered domain.
Step 3: Web development
In the past, developing a web site was a big thing which could be done only by developers having knowledge of HTML and programming. But this is not the case anymore; the current web design industry offers open source software and ready-made scripts to develop a website easily, even without any knowledge on HTML.
If you want to run a site like popular websites YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc, you can chose a clone software of those popular sites available in the market. When you have decided to get a clone script, check its features and reliability by viewing its demo, review content and testimonials and then buy it.
Start your dream website by following these three steps. Don’t stop with the web development alone, you have to maintain and promote it to survive in the web world. This can be done easily by outsourcing web maintenance and promotion to a well-experienced web development company.
Resettlement of Agriya to a new awesome, attractive and user-friendly site
You probably saw it: Agriya Infoway has got a new site, with a completely different appearance, new functions, new classifications and brand new design, in fact.
The question that you probably wanted to ask is very short: “why?” Why Agriya wanted to change this site? The answer is also very simple: to suit more users’ needs. The new features added to this site are designed to make this site more “friendly”, for everybody and everything: more “user friendly” and more “SEO Friendly”.
The more important change can be seen directly from the first page: the site is looking now much more attractive than before, thanks to a younger and more dynamic layout. Even the icons are bigger, and texts are less intrusive.
As “Agriya service offer” is changing (a few services are now added), this list needed to change; it is now fully representing how we imagine our business: lively, young, always changing.
This change of site features had also another purpose: to fix what was not working. With this new version, you will not have again the broken links that you used to have in the last version. All those problems disappeared, and the new site, which is now working fine, is looking more professional.
“SEO” is the key word for these new site features: the ROI (Return On Investment) was quite low in the last version of the site, because the conversion rate was not as high as expected. It means that the browsers that turned into customers were not enough. Now, everything has been done to improve those two ratings.
We also put the emphasis on the customer: the new site features are designed to make the customer’s action much easy. For example, buying a product was not totally easy. Now, a “customer cart” was added: it will surely improve the conversion rate, and it will be more “user friendly”.
Last reason for site change: as Agriya Infoway evolved and changed, its internet site needed to show those evolutions and changes. For sure, the products are still the same: YouTube clone, Facebook clone, yahoo-answers clone, webcam recorder script and so forth. The main changes are elsewhere: the services provided by Agriya that includes social network, technical writing, project consultations by dedicated project managers, SEO marketing and quality assurance for your web sites, flash/flex development for audio or video streaming, customization of open source software, design for your website, or web development and enterprise solutions for your projects.
This list has never been so long. It shows the internal revolution that Agriya is facing, and, of course, it can explain why the site needed to be changed.
