An icon is the smallest and yet the most powerful symbol that people recognize about your brand. No wonder, we crave for an icon that stands apart, is unique in design and most importantly, is capable of correctly portraying our brand image and values we stand by. Is it really possible for one small image to do carry such a vast responsibility? Yes indeed! Most big brands have a distinguishing logo that instantly remind people of the brand. You do not have to see the entire name on the billboard, nor do you have to see it in usual surroundings. A certain tick mark tells you it’s Nike, even without the name. A leaping panther is Puma. A set of four colored tiles indicates Microsoft. A bitten apple is, well, Apple. No prizes for guessing the brands! So what makes these logos or icons so widely popular and easy to remember? They are big brands? Yes (But they did not start off this big). They spend a lot of money marketing their Brand? Of course, they do! (But then there are millions of brands that do the same, yet their logos are lost in the pool of countless graphical icons). So what sets them apart? The difference is that these companies also think of propagating a brand. They force people to remember them. They give their target audience simple easy graphics that appeal to their them, and that they can relate to. After a point, the image, the icon represents the brand. How we all want to get to that stage! Put simply, a key differentiator and one of...

Exciting subject? It definitely is for many. iPhone applications are choking the world wide web, and still counting. And most of them are launched by programmers and developers with an aim to make money. However not all iPhone apps fetch money, in fact most do not fare as per expectation. So what does it take to create a successful app? And what are the areas to watch out for before plunging in? Let’s review some basic entry points that can help shed some light on the process of initiating an iPhone App Development. Let’s face it, there are a good number of iPhone apps submitted on iTunes every day. So if you intend to launch yours, it better be an efficient app that can help users on the go, or at least successfully engage them for a fair amount of time. Problem solution and entertainment never fails – and these can be key parameters to the success of your app. Otherwise there are big players out there that have had the advantage of a bigger share of the market due to an early launch. So you will be competing with them, who are still working full time to enhance the features of their popular apps. However, that is not to discourage you to come up with your own. The point is, you will be closer to success if you know exactly what you want to achieve and what the aim of your iPhone app is. At this stage, you may also chalk out any monetization options of your app. It is important to critically judge why would anyone download...

A web design and development company, worth its name, should be able to consider your firm’s concerns clinically, get the situation at hand analyzed by experts, and offer precise solution to curb and maneuver the crisis and pull you out of it. And it does not end there. It should be able to position you in a manner that helps you reach the heights you deserve, given your strengths. Google the keywords and you get millions of results for web design and development company, web design company, or web development company India. Most of these companies do decent work in terms of web design and development. And yet, there are few who are chosen over the others. So, what exactly are the parameters that determine why a client would choose your company as a web development partner? Let’s review some potential factors. A primary factor of course is how you deal with a client’s first contact. Your initial approach speaks volumes about your communication channels, your professional attitude (or lack of it!) and how eager are you to convert the warm lead into a customer. More often than not, how you deal with this first query is how you tackle business queries that need to be responded to. A professional company would immediately acknowledge the query and assure a response within a timeline. And of course, follow it up with a response within the promised timeline. A significant factor is the business development skills of your company. A person with sound knowledge, lacking the skill to put it across the table in a meaningful way is a half hearted...
