  • Why You Need To Pay Attention To Usability In Design

    Why You Need To Pay Attention To Usability In Design

    For anyone who has monitored changes and trends in web design, it feels like the ground has shifted more in the last few years than in the entire lifespan of the web. Social media is now engrained in web marketing, as is video and quality content, and website owners are now facing increasing barriers to garner attention for their site. Infinite scrolling and single page designs are springing up all over the place, and it is not too hard to imagine the day when traditional brochure-type websites are completely obsolete (if not already).

    Alongside the appearance of your site, usability is becoming increasingly important. Websites that think about the user experience have a better chance of success and conversion than those that don’t. But how feasible is it to make your website more usable, and what specific advantages are there for those that design in this way?

  • The Continued Rise In Cloud-Based Software

    The Continued Rise In Cloud-Based Software

    Cloud-based software has risen considerably over the last decade, to the point where nearly every business relies on cloud-based services to run parts of their operations. One of the earliest movers in the cloud space was Salesforce.com, which aimed to unseat the likes of SAP and Oracle in the CRM market. Today, Salesforce.com has revenues of around $3 billion, 10,000 employees around the world, and a range of products beyond CRM.

    The rise in the cloud has made software less expensive and more available to everyone. Before, there would be considerable one-off expenses to integrating and deploying a new piece of enterprise software, not to mention all the risk that comes with making the wrong decision. Today, most of the fixed costs are removed, and businesses typically pay a monthly fee depending on their usage. Not only does this make the one-off costs lower, it makes software available to everyone that was previously only available to the biggest of businesses.

  • Professional Data Recovery in the Philippines that really recovers your data

    A few months ago, my hard drive crashed. It’s a WD Elements 1TB portable hard disk. I didn’t do anything, I just copied some files, then suddenly it just died of old age. It cannot copy any files at all. I have very important—you know, priceless sentimental value—data inside that drive and I don’t have a backup. Because I’m a little bit of a “techy” myself, I attempted to recover the data in my HDD using various data recovery software.

  • It has been a busy month

    I’ve been busy in the past few weeks doing work. Yes guys, I’m already working here in Singapore as an iPhone app developer. I love programming and I’ve been addicted in developing useful iPhone games and iPhone apps. I almost forgot that I have a blog to update. Good thing I still remember that I have a blog and now, I’m updating it. My social life was almost gone. I never went out with my friends here in SG.

    My daily routine is work, then go home, then work again, and go home again to sleep. And of course, I eat lunch and dinner. I only eat twice a day. Unlike before when I live with my parents in the Philippines, I eat 3 meals a day. Now, I only eat twice! I’m on a diet now! Hahaha!

  • How Small Businesses Protect Their Brand with a VPN

    How Small Businesses Protect Their Brand with a VPN

    vpnWhen it comes to small business strategies, Internet marketing is key. Companies are utilizing various SEO strategies while linking to social media platforms. The point is to drive more traffic to their website.

    Protecting your traffic data from the prying eyes of competitors is as essential to business growth as preventing them from taking your client list so they may market to your customers directly.

    It seems that every major player in small business has hired an SEO specialist to help him or her control the local market. Within seconds these experts can access one’s traffic data and record the information to use against them. A sure way of achieving this is to analyze the traffic going into a competitor’s website and determine what pages are viewed and directly engaged while comparing their marketing strategies to the numbers.

    Knowing how much traffic a website gets helps competing businesses validate that website’s content and arms them with the knowledge of how much traffic they need to get in order to get similar results. Without proper security, you might as well hand over a blueprint of your brand’s success to the competition. (more…)
