“ Strong roots make beautiful leaves”, they say. There is not much to argue about there. In the world of designing websites and webpages, what are the roots? The wireframes. Wireframing is a necessary skill, something that you, as a web designer, must be adept at. Without good wireframes, you can’t expect to shake hands with your clients and take your business forward. What can you do to get better? Here are 7 steps that will help you.   1    Use colours with intention :  If you decide to use colours in your wireframe, make sure they serve a purpose.

How do mobile apps help small businesses?

Nowadays there are an increasing number of people who own a mobile phone, a laptop as well as a PC. But would you rather use your laptop or switch on your desktop to open a website and then order food, or would you prefer using your phone, and accomplishing the same, by just a single tap on an icon?

How Can LoRa Technology Boost Smart Agriculture In India?

Image
  For all the steady growth in the secondary (industrial) and tertiary (services) sectors over the last few decades, the importance of agriculture in India remains huge. On average, 1 out of every 2 members of the Indian workforce is employed in the primary sector – and the latter contributes >17% of the country’s GDP. Around 59% of the rural population (who make up a whopping 70% of the total population in India) rely on farming as their chief means of livelihood. Now, it is hardly possible to increase the volume of cultivable land at a pace to match the rapidly swelling population and the growing food demands – and hence, the onus is squarely on the farmers to maximize productivity and yield levels from the available land and other resources. This requirement, in turn, puts the spotlight on smart agriculture in India.   Implementation of technological solutions to boost agricultural performances is not exactly a new concept. Smart tractors have been in active use acro...

Looking Forward To iOS 12: New Features We Would Love To See

 Looking Forward To iOS 12 : New Features We Would Love To See   For all the hype and hoopla about iPhone 8 and, to a much greater extent, the outrageously expensive iPhone X – the adoption of iOS 11 has been decidedly ho-hum. By the third week of January, the global adoption rate of the latest version of Apple’s mobile platform had climbed to 65%, more than 10 percentage points lower than iOS 10’s adoption rate in January 2017. What’s more, iOS 11 has been touted as one of the buggiest updates in recent years (both iOS 11.2.1 and iOS 11.2.2 were launched to fix important glitches). There are rumours about the iPhone X getting a price cut (and maybe a new ‘blush gold’ colour option, to push up the faltering sales figures). iOS 11.3 has only just been released (there will be an iOS 11.4 update too) – and in what follows, we will look at certain fixes and new features that users would love to see in this year’s iOS 12 update:   1    Dark Mode API for deve...

AppBoard Tuesday: Mobile App Designing – Do-s & Don’t-s

 Brilliant app concepts count for very little if graphic designers botch up the interface of the application. If you browse through the 1.3 million+ apps at iTunes and Play Store, you will come across many applications which are difficult to even understand , let alone using them. A simple rule of thumb needs to be followed – mobile app designing should always be about facilitating app-usage, and never about the designers/animators showing off their professional skills. In the first AppBoard Tuesday of 2015 (by the way, HAPPY NEW Year, everybody), we will highlight some key do’s and don’t’s of designing iPhone/ Android applications:   Mobile App Design DOs: 1.    Think from the user’s perspective – There are two ways of conceptualizing how the screens/interface of an app should be designed. The first is the one which would be easy for the UI/UX designers at your mobile app company, while the other is the one which focuses on user-convenience. The latter should...

iOS App Submission Guidelines A 16-Point Checklist

Every quarter, a significant percentage of the total number of apps submitted at the Apple Store gets rejected. In what follows, we have highlighted some important points that would boost the chances of an app being approved.  Unlike at the Google Play Store , getting new apps approved at the Apple App Store can be just a trifle tricky. Developers need to follow a host of terms and guidelines, while creating applications and submitting them at the store. Although the Cupertino company does not release any official figure regarding the volume/percentage of the total volume of rejected apps, 58% of all rejections can be attributed to ten rather common factors (or mistakes, from the point of view of developers). Here’s a checklist of key store review guidelines that need to be followed, to maximize the chances of an iOS app going from ‘In Review’ to ‘ Ready For Sale ’:     Test your apps. Thoroughly – Apple takes the issue of app bugginess very seriously . Accordin...
