Dedicated Web and Logo Design Services

First impression is the last impression

This goes extremely well with websites and online services. There are many services/websites which are extremely useful however people don’t like them because the first impression (design) they get by visiting the website is not good. On the contrary, there are some services/websites which are not so good functionally but have great designs and people simply fall in love with them. In short, a good design generates trust in visitor.

We understand how important it is to have a great design for your website even though you may have a super exciting product/service to offer. That’s the reason we’ll soon be launching exclusive (and affordable) web design services in near future along with the web development services we offer. Our web design service will include the following.

  1. Logo design
  2. Web Design / Layout
  3. PSD to XHTML/CSS
This is just a heads up and we’ll reveal more details on these services soon. If you have any questions, please let us know using this contact form.

Joomla Vs WordPress Vs Drupal

Today (25th May, 2011) Google launched a very interesting tool called Google Correlate. Google Correlate allows you to see a list of search terms whose popularity best corresponds with that real world trend. Using Google Correlate, you can easily figure out how various search terms vary in popularity over time.

Using this tool, we did a simple experiment and found some interesting facts about the varying popularity of the top 3 Open Source CMS (PHP), i.e. WordPress, Joomla!™ and Drupal.

First lets see how WordPress performed during last few years and how it is doing now a days based on the search data of Google.

Here goes Joomla!

And finally .. Drupal.

As you can see, the data is very interesting and a bit disappointing for Joomla!™ fans. WordPress is on constant rise since early 2004 with minor ups and down however the major trend is upwards. Joomla!™ peaked around 2009 and since then is declining in popularity. Drupal on the other hand is going sideways since 2009 and is kind of stable around normalized search index 1-1.5

Joomla!™ is the clear loser among these 3 (we are feeling too bad since Joomla!™ is our favorite among all three). We seriously hope Joomla!™ 1.6 wil change the picture to a good extent in near future by overcoming some of the long pending features like ACL and built-in multi-lingual support.

The clear winner is WordPress and there is no sign of it’s popularity slowing down in near future. Well done WordPress (and Google for creating this wonderful tool).

Happy Holi!

On behalf of Sopan Technologies, we wish all our clients and users a very happy, prosperous and colorful Holi. May this auspicious occasion of Holi bring joy, prosperity and success to you.

Holi is a festival of colors and one of the biggest festivals in India. Holi, also known as Dhuli Vandana in Sanskrit, or Dhulendi, is celebrated by people throwing colored powder and colored water at each other. Bonfires are lit the day before, also known as Holika Dahan (burning of Holika). The bonfires are lit in memory of the miraculous escape that young Prahlad accomplished when Demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashipu, carried him into the fire. Holika was burnt but Prahlad, a staunch devotee of god Vishnu, escaped without any injuries due to his unshakable devotion.

SopanTech Solutions is now Sopan Technologies

As the title of this post suggests, Sopan Technologies is the new avatar of SopanTech Solutions. There are lot of other positive changes happening in the company however a few things are not going to change, like the quality of work we deliver, customer trust and the exceptional growth we have achieved in a very short span of time.

You may ask why the name change? Well there is a small story behind it and we would love to share with those who are interested. One of the main reason is that the new name – Sopan Technologies conveys our business vertical in a better way than SopanTech. However we’ll keep using the current domain and logo since they are still relevant to the new business name.

We would like to thank all our clients for the trust they have shown in us by using our services over and over again. We would also like to thank our employees for the hard work and commitment they have shown.

Site owners can set a fixed commission which they get for each service ordered and delivered (e.g. $1 USD). This concept was made popular by US site Fiverr.com

Best part about this kind of marketplace is that you don’t need any capital or huge investment to start with, which is the case with many other popular services like Groupon. All you need is a solid application like Nano Bazaar to create a marketplace and PayPal payment gateway account.

You may ask why another Fiverr clone when there are so many micro jobs script available. We understand that there are many solutions available and that’s one of the reason why we are a late entrant in this market since we too thought initially that there is so much crowd already. However based the feedback seen in the forums and comments received from some of our clients who purchased clones elsewhere, we realized that most of these solutions are of sub-standard quality and not at all suitable for production environment. Few of the clients even agreed to sponsor the development of a full features micro jobs application suitable for both small and big clients. Keeping the demand for a affordable yet robust and most importantly “working” solution, we are proudly launching Nano Bazaar marketplace script. We hope you find it worth for the bucks spent on it’s purchase.
