Many companies like to have their LinkedIn profile where they love to discuss about their recent initiatives, present executives and job offers.

What LinkedIn can offer to professionals and businesses?

At LinkedIn, the idea is simple. Get in touch with professionals, let your business grow. This is a network of professionals by the professionals. Whether you are a job seeker, employee or, business owner, LinkedIn.com can help you in many ways.

LinkedIn for an employee

A current employee of an organization can be benefited from LinkedIn.com in different ways. He can stay in touch with the present colleagues of his company. Also, the search option on LinkedIn.com is really nice. Anybody can search by professional name or company name. This is a great way to connect with your ex-colleagues and keep them in your professional network. And, you can check the professional company information by searching on LinkedIn by the company name. You can also search jobs, updates, answers, inbox, groups etc. from the search section.

LinkedIn for a job seeker

The social networking site is a great place to find your first job. The job seeker can visit the job section of LinkedIn . You can search the job or pick up a company from the list of all jobs. Also, from your professional network you can find senior personnels of reputed companies and directly approach them for job. For example, if you are an IT professional, you can try to find any senior executive of Codeclouds IT Solutions Private Limited or CISPL and get to know if there is any vacancy for you.

Both employees and job seekers can get endorsed by other professionals to enhance their professional profile. Also, professionals can add content to their education, resume and current position, website, experience, summary sections.

LinkedIn for a company

A company can massively gain by having a LinkedIn profile. Here are the benefits that a company can enjoy from a LinkedIn profile:

         Creating a LinkedIn page and talk about its products and services

         Adding professional video on the LinkedIn profile

         Highlighting company services with separate thumbnail images and paragraphs

         Creating a LinkedIn group consisting of all its past and present employees

         Posting group discussion topics to engage the members in the group to share their opinions

         Creating job posts on LinkedIn.com and get good responses from true professionals

All the services on LinkedIn.com may not be free for companies. But you must agree to the point that professional services come at a cost. And LinkedIn keeps your budget low by providing you so many services at a low cost. If an individual likes any of the company services, he has the option to ‘recommend’ those to others. By going to the company page, anybody can see professionals in the company’s network and others. Also, you can see the list of company followers.

More or less, all companies try to utilize the LinkedIn page to promote their businesses. Microsoft shows an Office 2010 banner and Microsoft Dynamic CRM Online banner on their Product and Service Spotlight .  GE on its LinkedIn Careers page explains beautiful terms like ‘Ecomagination’, ‘Healthymagination’ and its banner is hyperlinked straight to its own website’s Careers page. Google showcases its role as an unconventional, innovative employer to ‘Googlers’ under its Careers tab. American Express showcases a nice banner in front of you in its LinkedIn Careers tab  with the tag line: ‘So, what will you do for a living?’. Clicking on that banner can take to the page where American Express promotes its extraordinary people who deserve a special attention in company’s 160 years of business. And Products tab of General Motors suggests how innovative and successful a company can become with its automobile brands. 

With LinkedIn.com’s company profile or personal profile, you can maximize the chance to promote yourself or your brands and put strong professional message in front of your visitors. If you are new to LinkedIn.com, you can just view the profile of CISPL or check the profiles of its employees for inspiration.

Read New York Times paper with Microsoft Surface technology

What if you take your morning snacks with hot coffee and your whole table becomes a computer screen? And what if the table surface gives you digital edition of New York Times of the day? Thinking about some science fiction serial on TV? Please don’t. Because The Times company’s R&D Lab is bringing Microsoft’s Surface Technology right into your breakfast table.

Microsoft’s Surface computer technology makes this new ‘kitchen table’ table touch-screen. This is the finest touch you have applied for reading a newspaper. The next generation of New York Time’s newspaper is going to wow you for sure. A recent article from Kinkar Saha from his tech blog shows how the articles, images, pages, categories of New York Times are coming in front of us just by simple tapping action by our fingers. Through our fingers, we can tap, zoom, rotate, drag any digital object shown on the screen.

How is the digital newspaper display in this kitchen table? Blogger Kinkar Saha writes, “When you tap the New York Times icon, from the available options, the first screen comes with different types of options. You can find all popular newspaper sections: music, movies, art, science, television, books, personal tech, technology, home & garden and other categories.” Just tapping any of these categories you can further explore them.

The newspaper articles shown on the screen can be viewed in full screen mode or can be resized to the normal screen size. You can save any page if you want. Selecting a picture will bring similar pictures on the surface screen. Like articles, you can save pictures, too.

Wondering what else can this surface technology do for you apart from showing the morning newspaper? Just put your mobile phone or camera or a simple glass on the surface computer. The touch sensible screen can identify your gadgets and real life objects placed on it. You can know the price of a camera model through the surface computer and can easily view article written on it.

A question and a problem

One significant question is will this amazing technology be limited in reading a single newspaper? Or will this Kitchen Table will contain a whole lot newspapers, magazines and ebooks for our ultimate reading pleasure? And there is a big problem, too. It’s price is exceedingly high. Blogger of kinkarsaha.com rightly says in the end, “When Microsoft Surface is priced at $7600, I wonder how many consumers will afford to bring this grand newspaper reading device to their kitchen! Let’s hope, like reinventing the technology, NYT redefines the price tag, too.”

I guess all the middle-class newspaper readers are going to support that statement!

Some call company’s low budget bid as their strategy but some call it as company’s cost-effective solution providing capability.   Whatever be the reason, clients enjoy getting their projects done on low budgets. You can see yourself Codeclouds reviews given by several clients.

Marketing & online reach:

While reviewing an IT service brand one may consider the online presence of the company in different popular websites.   For professional networking people,   Codeclouds Technologies has a strong presence on LinkedIn.com    . Creative professionals may find the   Bahance.net profile of Codeclouds Technologies   as quite suitable.

Codeclouds has plans to connect with the individuals and new people also.  The   Facebook page of Codeclouds    and its  cool    Twitter page    is the proof of that. But they need to work on these sites more to increase their ‘Followers’ or people to ‘Like’ more their brand.

Quality work of best web design comes at a price. But the businessmen follow the wise principle of generating optimum profit by investing less. In case of affordable web design, online merchants demand more facilities and use of latest technologies and that’s also at the expense of small investment. Why do you need an affordable web design?

Affordability vs. Quality: There are many companies on web that will give you offers like ‘free hosting’ or ‘free web design’ but they have hidden price tags under their offers. Even if you get an affordable web design company who will give you web design services in India at almost no cost, their services won’t match your expectation.

And if you want quality of trendy web design, you have to spend a lump sum of money.  The motive for your ideal web design should be to get an affordable web design with minimum design quality and with some creative, professional approach. What a general web design firm can offer you on a small budget? Any professional web design company will offer you their basic package with limited facility.  You may get one domain, little domain space, common website pages and a ready-made web template to place your site online. Most likely, your pages will be all static.   Clearly, you won’t be satisfied enough to do business with such a website, formed by the result of limited web design services. What is the solution? Fortunately, there are still few expert designers left in the web design field who can design a profit making site at a low cost. Due to their bulk project handling and long experience they can offer you best affordable web design that suits your budget.  A reputed web design company can always provide you excellent solutions keeping their own profit level low, because, they always love to extend their client base.

Top 10 Leading Website Design Companies in India, 2010

When IT boom is a natural phenomenon in Indian industry growth, you can certainly think which companies are emerging as the next big IT companies in the field of web design. Here is a list of top 10 web design companies in India. The list is made based on their innovative and customized service, quality maintenance, top web design process, creative thinking and customer satisfaction.  By studying this list you can choose your own best web design company in India.

A Technocrat ( http://www.atechnocrat.com/ ):  Although the company claims to give all types web related services and has served 250 clients globally, their major service seems to be SEO (both on-page and off page).  Also, their Home Page is too clumsy with their various services.  Mr. Sumit Kumar is the business head and the contact person.

Rating: 7.5 / 10

Ray Creations (http://www.raycreationsindia.com/ ):  The Home Page will greet you with an artistic background. What I found interesting about this site is that under its Web Design Portfolio, they have written the number of designs for each category.  However, their Web Design category is congested with too many options (sub-menus). Their portfolio shows that they have designed nice e-commerce sites, but I could not get idea about in which software and technology they have provided the solution.

Rating: 6.5 / 10

Mass Sofware Solutions (http://www.massoftind.com/ ):  The Technology section of Mass Software Solutions shows that they provide services on platforms like ASP .NET and open source platforms like Joomla, Magento, Zen Cart, WordPress. However, their web portfolio did not exactly show the sites that have been developed in open source platforms.  The web template of their site reflects the look of a web design company rather than a web development company.  The company shows keen interest to grow by launching its MSSPL Partner Program. This initiative is about business and service extension by partnership with several companies and referral programs.

Rating: 7.0 / 10

E2 Solutions (http://www.e2solutions.net/):  Rather than its design, what will impress you is its brilliantly written content.  The site lacks visually appealing graphics of a typical web design company but carries a corporate look throughout its pages. The company’s blog Webopedics only gives you an insight into the world of technological insight with latest happening.  Portfolio items have a clean display in column wise links. Type of website (E-commerce, corporate, travel portal, classified etc.) is written under each portfolio link.   This is a company that tries hard to reflect its services through its pages.

Rating:  7.5 / 10

Codeclouds Technologies  (http://www.codeclouds.com/ ):  I could not agree more with the owner of the site about the philosophy that it says through its header: ‘Ideas + Innovation = Success’.  Six years of long experience of dealing with clients of global reputation is well reflected in the design layout of the site.  The site maintains a clean corporate look with web 2.0 graphics with clear specifications of what it does in the web business.   

Codeclouds provides top class services to its clients and varied services of Codeclouds range from professional web design to mobile application building. Be it Adobe Flash design or e-commerce website design, Codeclouds excels in everything.  If you put Codeclouds’ services under scanner, you’ll find the following results:

·         Ultimate creativity in web design and graphics design with design type unmatched by any other previously existed web image or template

·         Providing custom Microsoft ASP .NET solution for creating commercial dynamic websites

·         Offering custom website and application buidling solution through open source development in PHP/MySQL

·         Application and software development in operating systems like Windows, Unix and Linux

·         Professional expertise in providing CMS based solutions in popular Content Management Systems like Magento, Joomla, Drupal

·         Implementing ERP solutions through web based open source ERP called Openbravo and Compare Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software Solutions

·         All types of Business, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Games and Technical applications building for Google Android (using Java libraries) and iPhone (using Xcode and Apple iPhone SDK)

·         Using Adobe Flash and Flex for creation of stunning web application, Flash buttons, banners and websites    

Codeclouds maintains a rich portfolio of websites and creative, professional illustrations. The company has also taken a good initiative by setting up a forum, Webrilla.com. This site is full of useful topics on PHP, AJAX and Magento development. There is another good responsibility that Codeclouds is serving by setting up an IT-education institution named, Quadra Institute (training given in PHP/MySQL, .NET, mobile applications).

Codeclouds has also partnered with PayLeap LLC and Virtual PBX to serve clients with advanced payment gateway and customer service related applications. These partnerships are really prestigious and the initiatives taken by Codeclouds make it distinctly identifiable among the group of competing web design companies. Surely, you can consider Codeclouds among the best emerging web design and development company.

TIS India: (http://www.tisindia.com/):   TIS India’s Home Page starts simply with specifying services with tag names. The company seems to give a logical answer to the question why TIS India? The ‘Services’ menu nicely shows integrated services of the company in section wise.  The portfolio page shows all the CMS Websites, Ecommerce websites, Wordpress templates, Joomla / Drupal templates with slider option.  Instead of providing customized solutions and designs, TIS India seems to have developed standard Web Design Packages. Although, in their blog section, I found they have custom web design package starting from $500.   

Rating: 7.0 / 10

Olive Global (http://www.oliveglobal.com/): Excellence in thinking globally and maintaining quality and services according to global standards has been the key for success in case of Olive Global. But company’s portfolio section disappointed me. The portfolio is not divided into categories. The page contains two under-prepared combo boxes with sub-heading ‘Sort By’ while the combo boxes read as ‘coming soon’.  However, the company really serves in the varied categories that every modern web design and development company should opt for.  Olive Global boasts of some really big corporate clients like, LG, JVC, GE Money, Audi Delhi, Sahara Care House. 

Rating:  8.0 / 10

Midas Webtech: (http://www.midaswebtech.com/):  Midas Webtech is an ISO 9001 certified company specializing in website design, development and SEO services. Instead of mentioning what services it offers, Midas Webtech does direct business talks like, ‘Hire a Designer / Programmer/ Marketer’. Its portfolio contains an interesting thing: each portfolio site contains the main features of designing on the left side of it. Future clients can get ideas from these sites there if they feel interested about any of them. The portfolio list even contains the name of NDTV good times.

Rating:  7.0 / 10

Weblink India (http://www.weblinkindia.net/): The site’s intro Flash header takes you to various services categories. The company is an ISO 9001-2000 certified company and claims to have 11 years of experience. From the company news tab (in the lower section of Home Page), you can see that they have launched their mobile design services from the middle of 2010. Their portfolio is much like any other web design company. The extra thing is they have mentioned ‘industry’ and ‘tools used’ for each portfolio item.  The looks of their pages is pretty simple and lacks expert graphic design approach.

Rating:  6.5 / 10

Fatbit Technologies (http://www.fatbit.com/):  Fatbit Technologies have categorized its services under three categories: Design Services, Business and Virtual Office. From the bulleted points from these categories, clients can quickly understand whether the company’s services match with their requirements or not.  They design websites and develop e-commerce systems at standard rates.  The portfolio display option is really nice and contains a business look.  You should check their News section to get updates on the activities at Fatbit. One of the news tells me that the company has launched epaze.com, a directory containing lists of website design companies, internet marketing companies and other organizations related to web business.  We can keep an eye on this company.

The list is as indicative.  There may be other competitive, processional web design companies but I found these companies to mention as the top 10 website design companies in India, 2010.
