Think BIG and Kick ASS and how much we love Donald. Day 1.

I, Nitin PR will today admit that Mr. Donald Trump and his books has been the driving force behind NPR Design’s super creative and successful work which is why I thought to my self why should not all our blog readers get to know why is Mr. Trump so darn awesome. We present you the Donald Trump month. The whole month we post pointers related to the book “Think BIG and Kick Ass” and explain how has the same helped us so much. Its time we give something back to the society.

DAY 1 key pointers.

1. Dream big because what you dream is what you do : We at NPR dreamed of becoming India’s preferred communications agency and look now, we are almost there. It’s the dream and the passion our team shares which drives us to provide work our clients love.

2. If you want to make tons of money; do not be shy : set a big goal : A goal to become a Worldwide preferred communications agency is on our list NOW.

3. Be lean and hungry. At every level, set even higher goals and challenges and achieve them : A lot of web technologies which were alien to us when we first started proved to be a challenge and now we cannot live without them

4. Take action every day and stay focused for the long haul : Each day is a new day filled with exciting new java tweaks and new design trends in web and print. Our passion and focus for the same helps us be ready for the long haul.

5. Soak up more and more knowledge each day so you know what you are doing : All our graphic and web design projects exhibit out of the box design and development displays. We read a lot. We experiment a lot too.Our clients swear by the same.

6. Pride yourself on your ability to provide creative solutions to tough problems : We don’t call ourselves a communications agency for nothing. We just do not design and develop : We also conceptualize and plan projects for our clients. It’s a one stop shop.

7. Never take NO for an answer : NO… ahaan what? Yes or we can at least try is all we understand.

8. Learn to trust your gut : Flash is not always the answer to the glitz and glam anime on a website. We understand that.

9. Hire the best people and don’t trust them : A slight correction, WE LOVE OUR TEAM (trust them too).

10. Get even with people who do you wrong : Our work talks. Thats all.

Hope day 1 has been quite a meaningful one. Will update more soon. Don’t forget to visit us on facebook

Signs that your current Website needs us.

Your website may need a makeover. Your Product Sales must go up. Your Brand image must prevail. Below are the signs that your currently designed website needs a makeover by us. This will give you a rest-assured feel that you are going the right way if you choose us to RE-DESIGN your Website. You know why? Read on…

1. Your Current site looks like Oh My God – so many codes.

It’s no Rocket Science. You hired a developer to develop your new site, he messes up, you hire someone else and this goes on for a long time. Before you know it, years of bad code is piled up in your current site and its bad. Simple, start fresh with us.

2. Flash, not flashy anymore.

A few years ago, Flash was the “in” thing but not anymore. They create clutter and keep your customers away from the information they want to access about your company. No one has the time now-days, they need information and they want it NOW. Flash intros are the things in the past. We seamlessly weave in the design, XHTML, CSS and JQUERY/AJAX that it beats Flash hands down and it gets indexed by Search Engines more organically. See how.

3. The Social World calls out to you.

Web 2.0. A very heard phrase? Well, it’s the actual trend that every Company and its Brands follows and you must too. Your website is no Billboard advertisement, it must be actively involved in Networking Communities and groups too. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Digg and a number of Social Networking sites help you that. The more connected a brand is to its prospective and existing customers, the more brand value it raises, thus MORE SALES. You have to make sure your customers stick around in your site for longer and there are a lot of ways in which we can help you do that. Like this.

4. Tabled website?, NAH AH.

Websites made with tables are so out. They are not search friendly and they use invalid HTML code. A Strict no-no for us and our web projects. A Table less XHTML Website is what we code, like this.

5. Whats next? Well, Mobile Internet Websites.

The entire globe is going mobile. All the websites do have a mobile site version along with their existing conventional browser website. An easy access on the go and quick decision-making makes the day. Can’t lose on that right? Don’t, cos we will not let you lose. Simple reason being that a non mobile site version takes ages to load on a cell phone and is treated like garbage which is not a very good idea for your Business.

6. Hey Mr. Programmer, HELP!

No more. With the advent of intelligent Content Management Systems like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento (Online Shopping) and more, your staff and you can update the content of your own site, so no more frequent payments to the programmer, you can take full control of your site. Am sure our clients would agree on this, Right?

7. CALL TO ACTION

The NOW GOLDEN RULE – never misguide your customer when he or she enters your site. A very simple interface and to the point actions shall seal the deal. Be it a Buy Now button or a newsletter subscription or even letting the customer purchase online on your site being just a guest. It works. See.

We are sure you know what to do now. Simply check us out on www.nprdesign.com and take your call. Rest will be taken care by us. You love your business and so shall we.

An idea can change our lives

Life takes a turn, when it knows the road ahead is a dead-end. Hope can make life worth living. Too many people, with too many ideas make this world a competitive place to be in. A lot of ideas make sense and much more don’t at all. Luckily, I was lucky that my idea came in the top 10 of 45 Business ideas been presented at Iweekend.

NPR Design got a new lease of life and now our vision is going beyond the impossible but logical. Read on to know how…

Around 2 weeks ago, while I was surfing on facebook.com, I came across an ad which said, Present your Business idea and get funded. I thought to myself, click here Nitin, this might take your 1 year, super thought about idea a new beginning into a successful enterprise and help you find the right people to work with. I did click, it showed me this… click here.

Now, I signed up, filled a form, got an approval to present my idea. I was thrilled. Wow, one form and Rs. 1,500 makes me present an idea to investors and also get help from mentors and fellow participants. But things always do not go as planned. The day finally arrived. I reached the venue, took a seat, went through all the introductions part and finally the idea pitching bit started. Listened to a lot of fellow participant ideas, also did pitch my idea and managed to complete the same in 90 seconds. The evaluation process started and my idea came in the top 10 ideas which would further be cut down to the final 3 which get to present to the investors on the final day. My second pitch was fun too and I had all of the participants raise hands to ask questions. Reason – all loved the idea but I still needed to work more on it to make it work like a charm. I did not come in the final 3. I accepted the fact and went ahead and helped a fellow participant whose idea did get selected to present in the finals. I helped him create the Presentation and the logo design which was well appreciated by investors But, his idea needed more fine tuning as they said. He is now working on it and it sure using the name and logo designed by NPR Design.

Name and Logo Design done by us.

As its said, an experience counts more than winning and losing. My experience helped me connect with the right people who would take my idea to the next level. My goal of my idea being funded is now not so far away. Will keep you guys posted for more. I found my A team which would help me realise my dreams and in turn I would help them realise theirs. Its perfect. Will keep on updating more. This is exciting. Watch out this space for more exciting web products coming up soon.

Not to forget, the amazing mentoring sessions we had from Mr. Mahesh Murthy and Mr. VC Karthik.

I made friends and my next enterprise team. What more could I ask for. NPR Design is now known for its work done and also what it will do to change they way people say “IT”

Also, you must me wondering why I am not talking about my cool idea. Better if i just announce the launch in style. Get ready to change the way you travel and also the way you entertain yourself.

Rs. 1500 has changed my life. Thats all i can say. Will be back with more dope on NPR Design.

Web Hosting… All questions answered.

Hello Design Lovers and My dearest Clients.

This post shall inform and educate you about the good Web Hosting Services that shall give u 99.9% Downtime and yepp, they are pretty fast.

I am a Web Designer myself and i do know that the safety and efficiency of the my client’s sites is of utmost importance to my client and me. (Whose neck are they gonna hold once they find out that the womb in which they laid their baby is not safe)

Yepp, so in this post, i will be listing certain do’s and dont’s of purchasing Web Hosting and also the Top Ten Web Hosting People out there for whom your baby is super precious. (You could probably just click on the Banners and purchase one right away)

I am sure you have questions which need to be answered. So here are they…

Do’s and Dont’s.

1. Always do select a Hosting Plan which offers you an Effective Bandwidth Management. Just having a 100 GB Bandwidth is not enough. Its gotta work. There is possibility of a thousand views and downloads from your site. You don’t want your visitors to wait for ages. They did not commit a crime by visiting your site.

2. Select a Hosting service that stores Back-up of your site data onto another server. What if this server crashes. Your site shall be murdered.

3. A 24/7/365 Live and Phone numbered Customer Care which have actual Humans answering queries and who guide you well and not just plain make more money out of you by luring you more to their crappy products.

4. Make sure that if a site is offering a $50 USD for an entire year and offering about 10 GB worth of space, they have over a million sites hosted on the same server. The concept of Shared Hosting as “they say it” is not overcrowding one’s space with too many websites. I believe in a $70 USD offering 1 GB space and yes that is a trust worthy and honest Hosting service.

5. Never hire a Hosting Service which goes down often and you are stuck for hours in front of the Customer Care Chat Applet hoping and waiting for that one 7 step procedure to get your site up and running. Too much Drama that is.

A lot of these points must have scared you and that is where WE come in. The following links below are some trustworthy Web Hosting Services. Just Click, check out whats best suited for you and Purchase (if you need. I am sure you are looking to purchase otherwise you would have not reached reading the post till here).

Happy Hosting. And yes, We not just talk but also work… Our Profile site : NPR Design and our Work Portfolio : NPR’s Work shall talk now. Hire us as your Web Designer and we will do you Proud

This whole world needs an Anthem…

…and am trying to put the words where they belong… As rightly as Phantom planet said it.

This world surely needs a welcome change in design.
