Web Designing and Web Branding

Designing the Web

There are millions of websites on the internet with each unique in its content, designs and appeal. Have you ever wondered who creates them or maintains them? Who designs the lovely website you visit each time? Who fills the content in it? I am sure many such questions are coming to your mind now. So, if you are new to this world of World Wide Web, then let me tell you that there are people like us who posses good skills and expertise, they use their talent to make your web page beautiful.

Surely, web designing is fun and exciting, but there are few important things to take care of when designing a web site. The most important thing to consider is the needs and expectations of a customer for your website. Once you know the requirements of your customer, you can proceed to decide the content for it. The content of your website depends on the user’s preferences. The web designer has to ensure that the web site does not take too much time to load, plus the navigation process must be fast. He has to create a fine balance between the graphics and the content of the web page so that it loads fast and is also rich in the content the user is looking for Using graphics may be a good way to attract the users but this slows down the loading speed, on the other hand a dull and drab content hardly attracts any user. More over, graphics occupy most space and hence the cost of hosting it on the web is high. He has to make sure that the website is compatible to most browsers. JavaScript, HTML, XML, etc are the few languages he has to learn for designing the web

Together with these languages, and his understanding of the users needs, coupled with a dash of creativity and talent a web designer has to make a design for the web site which can make it stand out in the crowd. Finally, the ever competitive market demands that he learns and adapts to the new technology.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While ...
