Should you use Dark UI?

Image
You all have seen it lately, we are witnessing a new trend forming in the digital design called Dark UI. More and more websites and mobile apps are offering a darker version along with their original version to the consumer. It all started when Apple introduced its dark mode on the macOS Mojave. To align with this movement all the other companies are updating their products with new dark layouts. With the help of colours, we can convey all kinds of emotions. One might think that grey and black themed interfaces can only cover specific emotions or actions. The truth is that black is an achromatic colour, meaning it has no hue value. Black has been the symbolic colour of solemnity and authority, but also luxury and elegance. Having no hue is a positive thing in our case because you can pair it with almost every colour, thus you can express all kinds of emotions and feelings by finding the correct mix. If you are struggling to find your brand's identifiable colour, you ca

How much space do you really need for your website?

Image
Making a website public requires a server to host the website files and a domain for its unique address. For both of them, you require a basic understanding before you buy a package for your website. We will discuss domains some other day but today let us get some clarity on server space. Server space or disk space is the amount of data you can store on a webserver. The amount of space needed depends on the size of your website. Majority of websites are built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript for front end development, and PHP for back end development. The files comprised of codes and texts take very little space in a server. Some KB as in Kilobytes in most cases. But the concern for exceeding the server space comes when we loop in images, pdf files, or some other large documents inside a website. The standard size of a website composed of all possible elements should be under 1024KB which is about 1MB as in Megabyte. But in most cases, we find that it breaks the barrier of MB an

Image

What is HTML?

Image
HTML is short for Hypertext Markup Language. It was developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990. It is mainly used to create electronic documents which can be displayed on the World Wide Web. An HTML document can consist of texts, images, videos, links etc. Generally, each HTML page contains a series of links to other pages called hyperlinks. Hypertext means a text which is not normal. Few say that due to the feature of linking other pages with a text in HTML it is called hypertext language. Every web page we see on the Internet is written using one version of HTML code or another. HTML is mainly used to ensure the proper formatting of text and images so that any internet browser can display them as they are meant to look. Without the HTML no browser would know how to display the elements of a web page. HTML also constructs the basic structure of a web page, on which Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can be applied to polish the look and feel. We can say that HTML is the skeleton of a

What is AJAX?

Image
Asynchronous Javascript and XML or AJAX is not a programming language. It is a technique for web applications to send and receive data from a server asynchronously. In simple word, using AJAX means getting data from a server without reloading a web page or without impacting the other contents of the page. AJAX uses XMLHttpRequest object to communicate with the server, JavaScript/DOM to make the requests and XML as a format to transfer data. The term AJAX was floored in 2005 but the development had been underway for several years. Ajax is open source and thus accessible. That is why it cannot be credited to just one organization or individual for the technical growth of AJAX. Development of asynchronous technologies began around 1996. In the late 90s, Microsoft used a forerunner to AJAX. Google, meanwhile, used asynchronous technologies heavily in applications like Google Maps in the first decade of the 21st century. AJAX came into the consideration of mass developers back i

What is a web database?

Image
A Web database is a database application for managing and accessing through the Internet. Technicians, in this case, database administrators can manage this collection of data to modify or to present results. Any database can be used for both professional and personal use. It is generally hosted on servers as it requires a particular environment to run on. The entire dynamic (we can say run time also) information of a website or a web application is stored in a database. Starting from login information, payment information to blogs everything is stored inside a database. That is why keeping a database safe and secure is the most important job in the website security business. Also accessing any database directly through a web browser without any communicator is not possible for that reason. To know more on how to keep your database safe contact XENMAG, the best web development company in India . Database concept provides the richest method of storing and organizing

How SEO helps in collecting leads for business growth?

Image
Growing sales and leads are the two most popular goals for the majority of businesses. Growth of lead and the growth of sales go hand-in-hand. They are so interconnected that you cannot get one without the other. Many startups think that growth of sales using the leads begins with the telecommunication process. But this concept is changing nowadays with the help of promotional marketing. Generating sales is all about pitching to potential customers. If you do not pitch your product or service nobody cares about you. But the problem that many startups face is, they fall behind to the big companies in collecting actual leads. Big companies have big investments and networks. They buy the best available leads to pitch their business. But for startups, it is out of the question. The solution to this problem is SEO.

What is quality score in Google Ads?

Image
Quality score is Google's one of a kind meter for the quality and importance of your PPC ads as well as your keywords. It plays a huge role in determining the cost per click for the ad auction process. In a simple word, it is your website or your organization's reputation meter for Google to understand.

A brief insight into reviews and ratings for businesses

Image
Reviews are very important for any kind of business. Not only they help businesses to analyze themselves but also influence customers to decide in a number of ways. Both positive and negative reviews are equally important for the growth of a business. All positive reviews for a particular business might put an impression among visitors that the reviews may be sponsored or false, while no business will pay for negative reviews. It is better to showcase the negative reviews to the public like wearing a few war scars. All of this depends on your business if it is receiving any reviews at all. The most important way to get more reviews is by asking. Many times your customers will purchase a product or a service from you but they will not leave a review for you unless you ask them. So this is the first initiative one business must take to get things rolling. There are several professional ways to ask for reviews from your customers. You can always contact XENMAG, the best digita

What is offshore development?

Image
Offshore development refers to the process of outsourcing a task to a third party agency located in a different country. This process is currently very popular in the IT and ITES industries. In the offshore development process, outsourcing can be done in different ways. For instance, it can be given to an individual developer or an agency, delegating the whole project or only certain parts, hire a dedicated team of developers etc. In a particular project, there can be different categories of expertise needed to fulfill the requirement. An agency might not have all the required resources of experts at that moment for different reasons. So the company can outsource the project for offshore development to fill in the missing expertise. For example, creating mobile games requires a concept artist, Unity3D developer, 3D model artist, motion graphic designer, UX/UI designer, or all of them at times. No one developer could be an expert in all those areas, thus a few developers or

What is a website's value without marketing?

Image
Zero! That is right, zero. It does not matter if you have the world's best website or not. If you are not marketing your website then we must say that you have wasted your time and money creating your dream website. In any business, everything should have a purpose. In an office, starting from a desk to a money plan tree beside the window is serving some kind of purpose to increase business or to enrich the work atmosphere. A website without marketing is an investment without purpose. So why are people reluctant to market their website? There can be several reasons for this. But one reason is, they do not know what to do with their website. Some people treat their website as a showpiece or an achievement, occasionally flaunting it to their friends, family and some privileged acquaintances. It is not their fault. As we are in this business it is our duty to generate awareness on this subject. If you want to gather some knowledge on this topic contact XENMAG, the best web

How HTTPS impacts on search engine ranking?

Image
To know how HTTPS impacts on ranking we have to know what HTTPS is. HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. This is related to a website's security. One can make his site follow HTTP rules or HTTPS rules where HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. We will not get into the technical stuff but on a simple note, a website is more secured having HTTPS over HTTP. Now as we have learned which provides better security let’s take a look on which will rank higher on Google search engine. In 2015, Google stated that HTTPS may serve as a tiebreaker if the quality signals for two different search results are equal in everything else. Meaning, if your website is equal to your competitor’s website in terms of speed, title tags, content freshness, etc. but your competitor’s website is HTTPS and yours isn’t, Google will most likely rank theirs ahead of yours. That means no matter how hard you try to rank up, you will always fall behind your HTTPS competitors. So thi

How to start blogging business from home?

Image

Yes, one can earn from home easily on the web. But the “earn from home” offers are not always legit. Some of them are scams and some of them are legit.

Keeping up with e-commerce

Image
In the modern era of technology and internet, even age-old traditions of buying things have taken the shape of modernity. Earlier what we meant by buying goods and services were standing in long queues, selecting from a limited variety of items, debating with the shopkeeper to reduce the price and what not. But with the advent of the internet and advancements in the commercial sector were made, leading to what we know today as e-commerce. E-commerce is basically the buying and selling of goods services and products using the internet, and making payment transactions to execute the buying. This can be done via various apps or websites who attach themselves to popular and trusted banks and via that application or software the transactions are made for the products which are to be bought. The selection of the products has become unlimited in nature. If you are planning to launch your own e-commerce store feel free to contact XENMAG, the best web development company in India .

What is a CMS website?

Image
A CMS or content management system based website is that website which provides a system to any user of the website to add, modify or delete content. Often times we can see that business owners hire an agency to create their website. After the completion of the website, the owners find out that they are unable to add or change content on the website. If a website does not follow CMS then any editor of that website will need the knowledge of programming languages in which the website is created. These kinds of websites are called static websites. For a static website, the control of the website remains to the development agency. For any alteration required to the website, the owners have to rely upon a development agency. To avoid any delays in the back and forth of a task, the owners sometimes try to work on the websites by themselves. Due to the lack of proper technical knowledge, they unconsciously inject various kinds of errors to the website and this leads to a broken
