Skills associated with marketing your websites are viable tools when it comes to developing your identification in the internet world. Yet marketing your websites can be tricky in itself because there is an open challenge for you from the jungle of the internet world.

Step-1: The attractive and user friendly style: It’s important for your website to have an attractive layout and a user-friendly style which immediately captivates the user. The user would demand easy access to important links on your website. This helps them browse through your website, enhancing their interest.

Step-2: Search Engine Utility: Another key way of effective internet marketing is including the search-engine optimization. Users simply love that. Its helps connect your website with popular search engines like Google, yahoo and msn.

Step 3: Making your website public: Your website would do a lot of good in popularity if you get it publicly visible in the form of advertisements, on the shopping bags and business cards.

Step-4: Feedback: Interactive websites are favored by most users, as this helps them to get answers in a much more helpful and efficient way. Having a feedback option will encourage the users to give valuable feedback to various utilities of the web-site. Also help improve the general quality and efficiency of the website.

Hence website marketing is a combination of both online and offline marketing. Essential skills in both departments would help ensure the gradual but ever-increasing interest of the users. The process may take time but, once you get your website popular, it would be worth the wait.

Effective Project Management Approach

Project Management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements (PMBOK Guide – Fourth Edition). Project management is all about managing scope, time, cost and resources. All activities of projects are handled by project managers. The project manager, leader or coordinator plays a fundamental role ensuring the success of an organization’s projects. Best project management practices will be chosen for projects by project managers to ensure quality, stability and improves productivity.

Some Major Project Managements Steps

-          Kickoff meeting

-          Define the project scope

-          Budgeting

-          Develop a tentative schedule

-          Team setup by project manager

-          Other planning elements

-          Monitoring and control

-          Project Closure

It is essential to do give more time in planning and analysis phase to avoid delays and over budgeting. Delays can be overcome by meetings with teams and stakeholder so that project issues and risks are being continuously identified and reported to management for corrective actions/mitigation. Project manager keep management informed about project performance and its impact on the bottom line and customer service. During analysis, it is important to define what is considered to be a successful project; completion on time with quality, within cost, customer satisfaction and stakeholder involvements. General templates and processes are developed for projects. They are used for projects and can be altered as per project requirements.

Best Practices that an organization can adopt:

-          Standard templates

-          Standard processes

-          Competent team with exceptional interpersonal skills and communication skills

-          Effective project planning

-          Assessment of skills against those competencies.

-          Develop effective PMO and make it functional

Now a days as economy is not in good position, the focus for many organizations, especially around project management, is on doing more with less: shorter deadlines, tighter budgets, reduced human resources and general uncertainty in what is going on in the organization overall. It is important to make pmo more functional in order to minimize risks factors by considering today’s economy.

HTML5 is the next generation of HTML

After a long time of wait finally HTML5 came in to action. After the Launch of HTML version in 1999, there was a lot more things introduced for and the web has change a lot .Now there was a need on change in HTML also, so in 2006 World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) decided to cooperate and create a new version of HTML that is called HTML5.

Now HTML5 will be the new standard for HTML, DOM and XHTML, Some latest browsers do have support for HTML5.

Some Browsers List that support HTML5 either fully or partially

  • Firefox 3.5
  • Safari 4
  • Firefox 3.5
  • Google Chrome

Features in HTML5

  • It reduced the use of External Plug-in like Flash etc.
  • Better error handling.
  • The canvas element for drawing.
  • The video and audio elements for media playback.
  • Better support for local offline storage.
  • New content specific elements, like article, footer, header, nav, section.
  • New form controls, like calendar, date, time, email, url, search.

As HTML5 is still under work in progress so hope to find some new interesting features in near future.

This is good news for HTML Lovers and I wish they will be happy using HTML5 as it has much more new elements and tags.

Till now not all browsers support HTML5 tags fully but it will come in time .As companies are working to introduce HTML5 for their browsers but for that we have to wait but till that we can use above listed browser to start work and upgrade from HTML4 to HTML5.

Upgrade from HTML4 to HTML5

It’s simple no big science required for it just write<! DOCTYPE HTML> and start working with new HTML5 Tags.
