			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the years, I have realized that two things are very important to be successful in this profession. First, the expertise which ensures your quality of work and second, the network you create or your contact base. These two factors help you in building a reputation in the industry and brand building is vital for anyone to succeed and excel. <span id="more-4113"></span><br />
I have been working towards building a reputation for myself in the Industry, keeping the above mentioned factors in mind. I am happy that I have been progressing towards my goal, because for me success is not a destination but a never ending Journey. Today, a considerable number of people in the industry know and recognize me and my work. The network you create should not only focus on the quantity (I mean the number of contacts) but also the quality (whom you are associated with or demography of your contact base).</p>
<p>Today, I’m excited to say that, I have a good network, which includes some prominent players in the industry and who are experts in their field. One such expert with whom I share a great rapport is seo-semantic-xhtml.com, a <a title="psd to html" href="http://www.seo-semantic-xhtml.com/" target="_blank">PSD to HTML</a> Service Provider who are known to me and worked for me for some time now, who themselves are a brand recognized in the industry.</p>
<p>They are experts in PSD to HTML conversion, a team of professionals with vast experience, and I have used their services before. That is the reason why I write this review for them as a satisfied customer.<br />
I would keep this review short, and show some real highlights that prove that they are a brand whom you can trust upon for a quality work and timely delivery.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4124" title="ssx image-1" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ssx-image-11.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<h3><strong>Six Reasons why you should consider them for your next project.</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Brand worked with Brands</strong>: They have worked for brands which are recognized worldwide like Sony Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Hollywood records, Walt Disney Company, farmers, best of the web and the list goes on…. The names of the brands suggest that they are not just another PSD to HTML Company. You can check their <a title="portfolio" href="http://www.seo-semantic-xhtml.com/portfolio.html" target="_blank">portfolio site</a> and<a title="clients" href="http://www.seo-semantic-xhtml.com/clients.html" target="_blank"> clientele list</a> for complete details.</p>
<p><strong>Quality of work</strong>: They delivered some quality outputs; the codes were pixel perfect and they stick to quality standards like you will receive a div based 100% hand coded semantic markup, short hand, commented css, W3c validated and SEO optimized code. They thoroughly check for cross browser and cross-platform compatibility before delivery and they specially focus on separation of structure and presentation as it reduces bandwidth usage and increases load speed and ensures better accessibility.</p>
<p><strong>Experience</strong>: They have a combined experience of over 11 years, this is the reason why I call them experts, and they know their Job well.</p>
<p><strong>Timely Delivery and Live Support</strong>: They ensure timely delivery of the project; they never compromise on this, that’s what makes them special for me. They deliver the home page in 8 working hours and the remaining pages in a few hours and throughout the process till your project is completed satisfactorily you can keep in touch with them thorough various modes of communication like phone, email, live chat etc and moreover, you can directly talk with their coders, to give specifications. There are few companies who can give you this facility.</p>
<p><strong>Competitive Rates</strong>: In spite of working with big brands and having years of experience and being one of the major service providers in the industry, they charge comparatively lower price than any major service providers. The package starts from as low as $79 for home page (standard package) and you will also get 50% discount on all inner pages. You can visit their <a title="order" href="http://www.seo-semantic-xhtml.com/order.php" target="_blank">order page</a> for complete details regarding the prices and packages and other various options. They have recently launched ipad testing services; they are the only company at the moment offering this service.</p>
<p><strong>Money Back Guarantee:</strong> They are very sure about their quality of work, in case a client is not satisfied they will work until all the issues are addressed. In case they fail to meet the client’s requirement, 100% of the money will be refunded.</p>
<p>Looking for a reputed PSD to HTML Service provider who can deliver you best outputs on time, at a comparatively lesser price than any other major service provider? I recommend SEO-Semantic-XHTML.com. I would suggest you to give them a project, and I am sure you will gradually become their regular client.</p>

<p>By mail: sales@seo-semantic-xhtml.com | Toll Free no. 888-459(7668) or just visit their contact page: http://www.seo-semantic-xhtml.com/contact-us.php</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The footer, by definition, comes at the bottom of a web page, but it shouldn’t be bottom of your list of priorities when it comes to <a title="web design" href="http://www.denbagus.net/cross-cultural-web-design/" target="_blank">web design</a>. Too many websites, even wonderfully designed ones, place little or no emphasis on the footer, leaving it an ugly, undervalued repository for copyright information, small print and little else. <span id="more-3977"></span></p>
<p>Below, we take a look at 30 sites with super stylish footers that add real value to overall site design. Easy on the eye and highly original, all should serve as inspiration for your future web projects.</p>
<h2>1. <a title="David Hellman" href="http://www.davidhellmann.com/" target="_blank">David Hellman</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/1-david-hellman.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3985" title="1-david-hellman" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/1-david-hellman.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></a></p>
<p>Fun and unique, the footer on this site, for German graphic designer, David Hellman features a bicycle, plug sockets and a mouse. It’s an amusing treat for anyone who scrolls down far enough.</p>
<h2>2. <a title="Vimeo" href="http://www.vimeo.com/" target="_blank">Vimeo</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3986" title="2-vimeo" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/2-vimeo.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Most of us will have visited the Vimeo site on many occasions, but how many of us have noticed what lurks beneath, in the footer? There’s a colorful landscape, complete with rolling, green hills, cows and kite flying – what more could you ask for?</p>
<h2>3. <a title="Kulturbanause" href="http://www.kulturbanause.de/" target="_blank">Kulturbanause</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3987" title="3-kulturbanause" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/3-kulturbanause.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>This blog’s design is really different, helping it stand out from the rest. Rocky, geomorphic features, which begin at the top of the page, continue down into a steamy, watery reservoir found in the footer.</p>
<h2>4. <a title="Carsonified Events" href="http://events.carsonified.com/" target="_blank">Carsonified Events</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3988" title="4-carsonified-events" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/4-carsonified-events.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>You’ve got to love the quirky, hand-illustrated footer on this superb site. It adds a real personal touch.</p>
<h2>5. <a title="Missy" href="http://missweblash.com/index.asp" target="_blank">Missy</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3989" title="5-missy" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/5-missy.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>There’s nothing particularly groundbreaking about this blog, but the Paul Smith-like, colorful stripes add flair to an otherwise ordinary footer design.</p>
<h2>6. <a title="B Candullo" href="http://www.bcandullo.com/" target="_blank">B Candullo</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3990" title="6-b-candullo" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/6-b-candullo.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Brad Candullo is a designer and developer. He’s obviously paid attention to the footer on his page. Paper-like with touches of watercolors and “hand-circled” call to action buttons, it really stands out against the dark, wood effect background.</p>
<h2>7. <a title="YoDiv" href="http://www.yodiv.com/" target="_blank">YoDiv</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3991" title="7-yo-dev" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/7-yo-dev.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>The footer at YoDiv is huge and full of useful information. It’s plain, which is a good thing as it improves usability, but stands out thanks to the hills and army of bizarre YoDiv mascots positioned just above.</p>
<h2>8. <a title="Helmy Bern" href="http://www.helmy-bern.cz/" target="_blank">Helmy Bern</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3992" title="8-bern" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/8-bern.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>On Helmy Bern’s site, the information in the footer sits on a background of weathered cardboard. This helps tie it in with the rest of the site, which features lots of cardboard too.</p>
<h2>9. <a title="Voll" href="http://www.volll.com/#section_main" target="_blank">Voll</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3993" title="9-voll" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/9-voll.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Voll’s website is really, really clever. Not only can you scroll down, revealing a bevy of friendly-looking sea creatures, you can scroll up to see spacemen on the Moon.</p>
<h2>10. <a title="Web Designer Wall" href="http://www.webdesignerwall.com/" target="_blank">Web Designer Wall</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3994" title="10-web-designer-wall" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/10-web-designer-wall.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>The background on Web Designer Wall resembles a modern take on vintage wallpaper – in a good way! It continues down into the footer, which has been designed with an effective notepaper-like effect.</p>
<h2>11. <a title="Smashing Magazine" href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Smashing Magazine</a></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3999 aligncenter" title="11-smashing-magazine" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/11-smashing-magazine.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Smashing Magazine gets most things right and its footer is no different. It features caricatures of its editors, giving visitors a great sense of the Smashing brand identity.</p>
<h2>12. <a title="Mr Diggles" href="http://www.mrdiggles.com/" target="_blank">Mr Diggles</a></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4000 aligncenter" title="12-mr-diggles" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/12-mr-diggles.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Similarly to Smashing Magazine, Mr Diggles makes the blog writer (in this case himself) the subject of its footer. Not quite sure why he’s manipulating his face in such a manner, but it certainly stamps his own style onto the site.</p>
<h2>13. <a title="Grzegorz Kozak" href="http://grzegorzkozak.pl/" target="_blank">Grzegorz Kozak</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4001" title="13-grzegorz-kozak" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/13-grzegorz-kozak.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Follow the elongated lighthouse all the way down to the footer and you’ll find an old, British phone box, which acts as a link to the Contact page, and outdated technology buried in the earth.</p>
<h2>14. <a title="Sawyer Hollenshead" href="http://sawyerhollenshead.com/" target="_blank">Sawyer Hollenshead</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4002" title="14-sawyer-hollenshead" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/14-sawyer-hollenshead.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>A monotone skyline adds real panache to this otherwise plain, albeit well structured media designer’s blog.</p>
<h2>15. <a title="Blabolnik" href="http://www.blabolnik.cz/" target="_blank">Blabolnik</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4003" title="15-blabolnik" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/15-blabolnik.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>This Czech site features some great illustrations, not least in the footer, where you’ll see an old man surfing the web, rather than the waves, on a deserted beach.</p>
<h2>16. <a title="Banjax" href="http://www.banjax.com/" target="_blank">Banjax</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4008" title="16-banjax" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/16-banjax.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Why not use a Google Map of your location as the footer to your website? That’s exactly what Banjaz has done. It’s simultaneously cool and functional.</p>
<h2>17. <a title="Sundance" href="http://docsource.sundance.org/dfp-blog/" target="_blank">Sundance</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4009" title="17-sundance" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/17-sundance.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>The footer on the Sundance site is incredibly simple, but very effective. It might look rather basic, but I can assure you it takes a long time to make a footer so effortlessly slick.</p>
<h2>18. <a title="Komodo Media" href="http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/" target="_blank">Komodo Media</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4010" title="18-komodo-media" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/18-komodo-media.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>On the Komodo Media blog, you’ll see that a Twitter feed has been integrated into the footer – nothing particularly notable about that. Integrating Last.fm, however, is rather more remarkable. Visitors can view and listen to the author’s favorite records at the touch of a button.</p>
<h2>19. <a title="Crazy n Funny" href="http://www.crazynfunny.com/" target="_blank">Crazy n Funny</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4011" title="19-crazy-n-funny" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/19-crazy-n-funny.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Not just crazy… not just funny… but crazy n funny! – the footer on this site has been used to great effect. It comes complete with its own rudimentary TV-shaped mascot.</p>
<h2>20. <a title="Dale Harris" href="http://www.daleharris.com/" target="_blank">Dale Harris</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4012" title="20-dale-harris" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/20-dale-harris.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Splashes of color and an overall minimal design make the footer on Dale Harris’s site more than worthy of a place in this list.</p>
<h2>21. <a title="Red Nose Day" href="http://www.rednoseday.com/" target="_blank">Red Nose Day</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4014" title="21-red-nose-day" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/21-red-nose-day.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>If you’re offering lots of information in a footer, it’s best not to over-design, as it can soon become confusing and difficult to navigate. The footer on the Red Nose Day 2009 site is a superb example of how just a few slight touches, in this case some red noses with eyes, can elevate an otherwise boring list of links into something a lot more engaging.</p>
<h2>22. <a title="Jason Santa Maria" href="http://jasonsantamaria.com/" target="_blank">Jason Santa Maria</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4015" title="22-jason-santa-maria" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/22-jason-santa-maria.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Everything about this site, from the header to the footer, looks amazing. I love the layout, the surplus of white space and the simple color scheme. Like the Red Nose Day site, there’s lots of information in the large footer, but images and colors make it attractive and clear.</p>
<h2>23. <a title="I Primi Dieci" href="http://www.iprimidieci.com/" target="_blank">I Primi Dieci</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4016" title="23-dieci" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/23-dieci.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Cleverly designed, eye-catching icons add character to the footer on this Italian blog.</p>
<h2>24. <a title="The Pixel" href="http://www.thepixel.com/blog/" target="_blank">The Pixel</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4017" title="24-the-pixel" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/24-the-pixel.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>Blogs don’t come much better than this. From the rotating blades of the windmill at the top to the collapsed drunkard in the footer, the whole thing looks incredible.</p>
<h2>25. <a title="Bits &amp; Pixels" href="http://bitsamppixels.com/" target="_blank">Bits &amp; Pixels</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4018" title="25-bits-and-pixels" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/25-bits-and-pixels.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>A colorful spectrum of light attracts visitor attention to the footer. Such a simple effect is easily achievable on any site.</p>
<h2>26. <a title="The Free Lance" href="http://digitaldeceptions.ca/" target="_blank">The Free Lance</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4019" title="26-the-free-lance" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/26-the-free-lance.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>The Free Lance is another example of a site that maintains its design theme from top to bottom. In this case, the page is meant to look like a sheet of paper stapled onto a wooden board (or is it a tree?) The footer is stapled in just the same way.</p>
<h2>27. <a title="DivVoted" href="http://divvoted.com/" target="_blank">DivVoted</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4020" title="27-divvoted" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/27-divvoted.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>The footer at DivVoted, which has been shaped into a large, clickable island, can be minimized or maximized with a simple click of the mouse, changing the whole look and feel of the site.</p>
<h2>28. <a title="Studio Racket" href="http://studioracket.org/" target="_blank">Studio Racket</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4021" title="28-studio-racket" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/28-studio-racket.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>This site is eccentricity at its best. Its footer is every bit as well designed as its idiosyncratic navigation bar. There’s a tree, a suit, a bird and some arrows. Why? Who cares – it looks terrific!</p>
<h2>29. <a title="Urban Pie" href="http://www.urbanpie.co.uk/" target="_blank">Urban Pie</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4022" title="29-urban-pie" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/29-urban-pie.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>With a name as ridiculous as Urban Pie, you can’t get away with having an ordinary site. Thankfully, the British company has gone to town with sketchy drawings throughout and in the footer.</p>
<h2>30. <a title="Manndible Cafe" href="http://www.manndiblecafe.com/" target="_blank">Manndible Cafe</a></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4023" title="30-manndible-cafe" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/30-manndible-cafe.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="275" /></p>
<p>The entire Manndible Café site is really well laid out and highly accessible. The footer contains the bare minimum amount of necessary information. It’s clean and very uncomplicated &#8211; great for the user.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The World Wide Web is exactly that – a tool that allows a business, brand or individual to instantly go global and reach out to new markets and audiences around the world. Geographical boundaries mean less and less but linguistic and cultural differences remain, and designing a website that will both reach and appeal to people from different cultural backgrounds remains a challenge.<span id="more-3938"></span></p>
<h2><strong>Content for The Audience</strong></h2>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3950" title="audience" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/audience.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="180" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>While English is probably the most widely spoken language in the world – if you include non-native speakers and count variations of Chinese as distinct languages rather than dialects – the majority of the world&#8217;s population still speaks no English at all. Add to this the fact that non-native speakers are statistically more likely to use sites in their first language, and localised websites with translated content for each market become a must.</p>
<p>It might be tempting to simply put your content through a translation program, but even the best translation software can produce inaccuracies. Try running a passage of text through Google Translate and translating it to a randomly chosen language. Copy and paste the translation and then convert it back to English. It&#8217;s likely that there will be grammatical errors and possibly entire shifts of meaning.</p>
<p>Employing a professional translator is the best way to avoid this, and using a native speaker of the target language will help to translate context and nuance and avoid embarrassing faux pas. No one wants to follow the example of Honda, who launched the Fitta automobile in Europe, before discovering that fitta was a colloquial term for female genitalia in Norway and Sweden.</p>
<h2><strong>The Right Tools</strong></h2>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3947" title="Colours2_2_L24" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Colours2_2_L24.jpg" alt="" width="504" height="231" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allows you to keep your content separate from page design and will therefore allow for content translation without having to redesign and reformat each page in its entirety. Unicode UTF-8 is a character encoding tool which is compatible with over 90 different scripts or written languages. It&#8217;s supported by most common browsers and operating systems and, even if you don&#8217;t see much need to go beyond the basic modern Latin (or English) alphabet now, using these tools to construct your website from the start will allow a greater degree of flexibility in the future.</p>
<h2><strong>For the Right Design</strong></h2>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3951" title="design" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/design.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="188" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>There is evidence that people of different cultures process visual information differently. A recent study published in the International Journal of Design looked at the perceptions of a sample website when viewed by test groups of Chinese, Koreans and Americans. The study supported R.E. Nisbett&#8217;s assertion that holistic or high-context thinkers (including most Asians) take information from the context and whole &#8216;feel&#8217; of a site, while analytical or low-context thinkers (including most Americans and western Europeans) focus on clear, explicit information.</p>
<p>Even knowing this, it can still be difficult to design a site for each mindset. One way to get to grips with it is to look at the current designs of successful websites in different areas. Where functional minimalism might be effective in Germany, a more decorative and immersive design might work better in India.</p>
<p>Care should also be given to the use of colours. Green or blue backgrounds with black or white text have been found to be the most universally accepted colour schemes, but different colours have different connotations in different cultures. White, for example, may signify marriage and peace in most western societies but is associated with death and mourning in India and China.</p>
<p>Flash can add to the visual appeal of a website but it should generally be used sparingly. Search engine spiders have trouble reading text embedded within Flash, which affects your site’s search engine optimisation (SEO) by cancelling out any keywords in the Flash files. It should also be remembered that some regions might have limited access to high speed internet and that too much Flash will lead to prohibitively long loading times.</p>
<h2><strong>Get Your Navigation Straight</strong></h2>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3948" title="navigation" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/navigation.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="181" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>When considering the navigation bar, it should be remembered that some languages, such as Arabic, are written from right to left. It may be possible to simply switch a vertical navigation bar from the left (where it is commonly located for LTR or left-to-right language websites) to the right-hand side of the page. It offers more continuity however and is probably simpler to design the entire website using horizontal navigation bars.</p>
<h2><strong>Go in-country with domain names and servers</strong></h2>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3949" title="domain" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/domain.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="180" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Investing in an in-country domain name for country-specific versions of your website (for example .ae for the United Arab Emirates or .fr for France) will help boost your rankings on Google&#8217;s country-specific search engines and should therefore help drive local traffic your way. These domains should also be hosted on a server in that country, as this will also help with your local search engine results.</p>
<p>By following these basic tips, you can take the first steps towards building effective websites for a wide range of different cultural target markets, and expand your online audience from a limited language bracket to the entirety of the 1.8bn people currently online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When <strong>JavaScript </strong>by various frameworks have been  result in an appeal to <strong>web development</strong>, another alternative emerged using CSS. Pure <strong>CSS </strong>techniques described in this article are alternative solutions to develop <strong>web applications </strong>using CSS.<br /><span id="more-3822"></span></p>
<p>This article has been collecting a variety of techniques that bervareasi css that does not require JavaScript to create a web site but still interesting and interactive.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><a title="slickmap" href="http://astuteo.com/slickmap/" target="_blank">SlickMap CSS — A Visual Sitemapping Tool</a></h2>
<p>SlickMap CSS is a simple stylesheet for displaying finished site maps directly from HTML unordered list navigation. It’s suitable for most web sites – accommodating up to three levels of page navigation and additional utility links – and can easily be customized to meet your own individual needs, branding, or style preferences.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3829" title="slickmap" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/slickmap.jpg" alt="" width="503" height="159" /></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><a title="Pure Css Data Chart" href="http://cssglobe.com/post/1272/pure-css-data-chart" target="_blank">Pure Css Data Chart</a></h2>
<p>Data visualization is mostly achieved with flash applications or with help of some programming languages. Are those solutions the only way to present, let&#8217;s say simple data chart? How about giving it a try with nothing but good ol&#8217; css?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3832" title="csschart" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/csschart.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="291" /></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><a title="css image map" href="http://www.noobcube.com/tutorials/html-css/css-image-maps-a-beginners-guide-/" target="_blank">CSS Image Map</a></h2>
<p>While they may not be used as often as they once were in the heyday of HTML table based web design, image maps can still be quite useful in situations that call for it. In this tutorial, you’ll be shown how to build a pure CSS image map with background image sprites and cap it all of with a &#8220;tooltip&#8221; like popup, all with CSS.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3833" title="cssimagemap" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/cssimagemap.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="292" /></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><a title="Create a Content Slider Using Pure CSS" href="http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/tech/thread.php?pid=45" target="_blank">Create a Content Slider Using Pure CSS</a></h2>
<p>As a proof of concept, this developer decided to experiment and create a working example of a CSS slider without the aid of any JavaScript, using layers in CSS and CSS3 transitions to give the slider the necessary animation.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3834" title="Create a Content Slider Using Pure CSS" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Create-a-Content-Slider-Using-Pure-CSS.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="205" /></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><a title="Accordion Using Only CSS" href="http://www.fofronline.com/2009-06/accordion-using-only-css/" target="_blank">Accordion Using Only CSS</a></h2>
<p>An accordion effect can be achieved using CSS3’s :target pseudo-class, without needing JavaScript. Using the proprietary -webkit-transition property this accordion can also be animated. Each part of the accordion has an ID, heading and content region. The header includes a link that matches the section’s ID, whilst the content is wrapped in a container which will control its display.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3835" title="Accordion Using Only CSS" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Accordion-Using-Only-CSS.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="229" /></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><a title="pure-css-speech-bubbles" href="http://nicolasgallagher.com/progressive-enhancement-pure-css-speech-bubbles/" target="_blank">Pure CSS Speech Bubbles</a></h2>
<p>Speech bubbles are a popular effect but many tutorials rely on presentational HTML or JavaScript. This tutorial contains various forms of speech bubble effects created with CSS2.1 and enhanced with CSS3. No images, no JavaScript and it can be applied to your existing semantic HTML.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3836" title="css-speech-bubbles" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/css-speech-bubbles.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="291" /></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><a title="CSS Vignette" href="http://sickdesigner.com/index.php/2010/html-css/css3-vignette-a-wicked-cool-technique/" target="_blank">CSS Vignette</a></h2>
<p>Vignettes! The technique involves a few divs, a bit of simple CSS, and a whole lot of fun. So click the pic and read on.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3837" title="css-vignette" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/css-vignette.jpg" alt="" width="503" height="160" /></p>
<h2><a title="Pure Css Line Graph" href="http://cssglobe.com/post/4175/pure-css-line-graph" target="_blank">Pure Css Line Graph</a></h2>
<p>The intention of this tutorial was not only to enable data visualization to people that don&#8217;t feel comfortable with using various scripting languages but also to demonstrate the power of CSS and present a way of using CSS a bit differently.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3838" title="css-line-graph" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/css-line-graph.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="274" /></p>

<p>Wix lets you create your own Flash website entirely for free, with its easy-to-use website building platform.  With Wix, users can build a website entirely from scratch, or by customizing one of Wix&#8217;s stunning Flash website templates.<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span id="more-3631"></span><br /></span></p>
<p><a title="wix-create your own flash" href="http://www.wix.com/free/website/?utm_campaign=ma_denbagus&amp;experiment_id=ma_denbagus2" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3632" title="denbagusWIXPIC1" src="http://www.denbagus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/denbagusWIXPIC1.jpg" alt="" width="570" height="150" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The templates are arranged by niche, including photography, business, musician, artist and e-commerce websites.  The business, musician and photography website templates are the most popular with Wix users.</p>
<p>Once a template is selected, users can start the customization process immediately – there is no waiting for any annoying confirmation e-mails, or file downloads. You can literally get started right away using the colorful graphic interface of Wix&#8217;s dynamic software simply by entering in a user name and your e-mail address. Nothing else is required to create a beautiful, impressive and fully-functional website.</p>
<p>Wix lets you add clip art, photo galleries, widgets, music players, Flash animation and more to your website, just by dragging and dropping the items where you want them.  Users also gain access to Wix&#8217;s extensive archive of photographs, which can be used for free in any user website. Fotolia&#8217;s stock archive is also available, and photographs can be purchased and uploaded directly from Fotolia, through the Wix platform.</p>
<p>What makes Wix so revolutionary is the fact that every Flash website created with Wix is fully compatible with search engine crawlers.  This is done despite Flash&#8217;s reputation for not being search-engine friendly.  Each Wix website has xml files built into the site which feed HTML code directly to the search engines.  This feature allows Wix to offer something entirely unique to its users that can be found nowhere else on the web.  Beautiful and impressive Flash websites that are easy to make, and easy to optimize have a home at Wix.com.</p>
<p>You can totally let your imagination run wild with Wix. To really see what can be done with this powerful and unique web design tool, visit<a title="wix" href="http://wix.com/" target="_blank"> wix.com</a>.  Explore what others have done using Wix, browse through the template galleries, and sign up for a free website account. Play around with the builder for awhile, customizing one of the free templates to gain familiarity.  You&#8217;ll find yourself having more fun than you ever thought possible.</p>
