WeBox

6 Reccommended Links each Monday! Since 2009.

 

Scripter Specials #1
I've been neglecting this Webox list for a too long time now, so how about bringing it back with a big bang? This week and every week up until the new year I will be giving you two times twice as many links as usual. IOW, 24 links. There are many sites like many other sites, so I apologize if the descriptions get a bit vague or useless, but unless said otherwise the websites in this list are worth a visit if the subject interests you. Peace out! ;)

#288 Tagomatic
The community reccomendation engine. A great place to create tags!

#287 SnowHall
SnowHall is a team of proficient web developers and design experts. They specialize in web development and design along with marketing of websites and businesses. Their website is a bit plain, but still looks good, and is in it's edgy and strangely attractive way very different from basically all other sites online. Text isn't always were it would nominally be, nor are the borders, or the colors. Yet the site is still overall speedy and wellmade. And I love the name.

#286 Barefoot Solutions
Barefoot Solutions is a custom web development, web marketing, and web design company based out of San Diego. Their logo features a man sitting by a desk with his feet on the desk and a laptop infront of his feet, very relaxed, with his eyes closed and a blue sky surrounding. Bad manners. Also, those light conditions are probably not very easy to work with. Once you start thinking about it, the picture is pretty ridiculous, but who cares, it looks nice, and that's the impression they want to give. The domain gives room for further explenation and limitless creativity, which they use well. All in all, it's a nice website.

#285 Etisbrew
When clicking "Why Etisbew ?" I half expect to find out why the hell they chose "Etisbew" as a name. It's not short, and it's strange, though I still doubt I'll remember it. Regardless, this here is a regular website, nothing more, nothing less, at a first glance. Lots of techy talk, lots of info, and prices that go slightly above the competition. Without cause? I cannot judge.

#284 Progress Technologies
Music playing in the background. Six monitors with page titles on them that light up when you hover over them. Very smooth and fast animations between pages and all information categorized nicely. It's a perfect model, well aware of the domain it resides on. Looks great, innovative, worth a watch at least.

#284 Figly
Figly Media has a dark and attractive layout. They also have webhosting, webdevelopment and consulting - all for relatively cheap prices. Their webhosting plans are small, their webdesign plans got you covered, and their consulting probably gives them a lot of money. It's one of those normal sites that might grow or be forgotton. They have a good name, though.

#282 Rezeem
Rezeeeeeem, mmm, savor that name. The website looks good as well, with bright colors, smiling people of both genders, open support, and of course a list of the top five reasons to chose this one company. Everything a commercial webdesign firm must have. ;)

#281 TLI Software
A smooth commercial website, with current prices and the services you need. Blue layout (statistics say it's the most appealing color when it comes to webdesign) with Web 2.0 shapes and forms. Looking good!

#280 OS Commerce Coders
Need an OS Commerce system? This is the place to go. A whole team of programmers dedicated to this cause only are waiting for you here, with lots of information for you.

#279 Insian Software Outsourcing
Offshore webdesign services, again? India, of course, though they claim they work 8 hours a day and five days a week, just like normal people (seems I'm working 24/5, mostly, though). Decent layout, nothing spectacular.

#278 PHP Store
A place selling PHP scripts. A lot of them, and for decent prices as well. Don't expect any scripts with soul and heart put into them, only commercial onehit wonders here, most of them with better free alternatives, but it's a noteworthy effort.

#277 Data Viking
Ahh, just seeing the domain gave me a liking to this place, and it seems like it was well deserved. All graphics are crisp quality, the layout is the best one in this list so far, they have both scrolling text and fading imagery on the frontpage, as well as a dropdown client login form (giving the impression there's a lot more behind the scenes than the great scenery we already see). All information is easy to understand, services range wide and grand, and the pricing isn't bad either. IOt's not just the frontpage they've pimped up swiftly, it's the whole site, it gives honor to the term webdesign. Reccomended.

#276 Web CNP
C&P Web is the name of this place, a very simple firm offering webdesign services. They have four pages, a contact form and a price estimator, and in all this they managed to fit some ajax, CSS, valid xHTML and probably PHP too. It doesn't have to be harder than this with everything included.

#275 UR Technology
Another offshore webdevelopment site, though seemingly not near as professional as the prior ones. Layout is highly simple and most of the pages consist of big chunks of too much text without any graphical dividers. Design is not their sign.

#274 Bench on Demand
On Demand IT Professionals. Clean and professional website, with custom graphics, lots of graphs, lots of text, lots of tabs & lots of information.

#273 Krio Media
Krio Media is a modern and creative webdesigner site offering both services and free scripts/tutorials/graphics/etc. Everything is clean, easy to understand, and with a unique theme fitted for a webdesigner. Focus is on information, no prices, no special deals or overlaying ads. To top it off the domain is ridiculously easy to remember. Great website!

#272 Free Web Scriptz
Free Web Scriptz offer one Free Script, and eleven Paid Scripts. They also offer templates, out of which two are free. To download the free templates or scripts (all THREE of them) you have to fill in name, adress, email, etc and it will be sent to you by email. This is a system that takes up much time in exchange for useless statistical info for the publichers. Bad system, bad site.

#271 Amigura
I can't believe I stumbled upon this site, amidst all these other respectable firms. Here's a webdesigner who actually has a layout consisting of red blue and white, the standard values, no unique shades at all,m colors that really cut into your eyes. The site is simple, with black text and a white background, and information is stacked about neatly, with pieces of clipart here and there. They have quite a few free scripts as well, with optional installation fees, which is great. In terms of programming I'm sure they do their job flawlessly, but in terms of design, awful.

#270 E Balance
"Feel the balance". Good slogan, good website. Complete with text, images, and even a flashy animation, all were it's supposed to be. And the theme is green, I love green.

#269 E-Soft 24
E-Soft is one of those yet-another-quick-business websites selling scripts and services with a mostly premade layout and a regular portal behind it. Nothing new, nothing creative.

#268 Energy Scripts
Energy scripts is an offshore website design and web application development team specializing in e-commerce shopping cart software development, content management systems and custom web design and development. They have a bunch of handy scripts ready for you, at waaaaaaay too high prices, at least a hundred dollars a piece. The layout isn't anything spectacular, so I suppose their services aren't either.

#267 Tam Webdesign
Michael Kozinets didn't give two shits about graphics. His website is as plain as can be, and he puts out all personal information straight in black and white. His resume is of mediocre length and can be downloaded in both MS Word and more modern formats. Nothing unneeded here, it may infact have a little less than needed, there.

#266 Indianic
IndiaNic initiated with a simple, yet profound web design and web development services to help offshore outsourcing development to software outsourcing development companies and web site development firms abroad by providing dedicated web programmer and designers, PHP programmers, .NET developers, offshore software development, outsourcing services, ecommerce website solutions and multimedia solution at affordable price with superior quality. All in all they are pretty big, offer a lot, have at least a hundred pages giving you both simple and indepth explenations for services and offers, and give you (seemingly) good service. The layout is graphically intense, but still loads fast and gives a great first impression. Seems like a trustworthy firm.

#265 Just PHP
justPHP.co.uk is the home of James Benson - a full time, freelance php developer based in the UK, specialized in PHP/SQL. He has a nice little website with his services to offer. Neat, simple, and SEO friendly.
