Mozilla Coming up With Firefox Developer Edition

Posted on by netpyxAdmin

The Firefox team is all set to bring together all the essential tools at one place for developers to keep them productive across a multi-platform environment.

Developers are valuable to the continued success of the web as they are people behind the apps and content we regularly find on the World Wide Web. They provide us with everything on a computer or mobile phone that we need to make our lives simple. Be it information, products or services, they make everything available to us.

But what about them? Who’s going to take care of them? To provide them necessary tools, Mozilla released ‘Firefox Developer Edition’. It’s a web browser with an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) in built. In simple words, Firefox again became compatible in the web development business.

The new version is intended to help developers as well as users control their privacy online. The main feature of the version is a ‘forget’ button on the tool-bar that can instantaneously wipe the last five minutes, cookies, tabs and two to one day browsing history. It also launched the Polaris Privacy Initiative to develop technology to complement browser privacy.

What’s in the new developer edition? The first thing is the dark default theme which keeps the fullness of the Firefox user interface nice and snug. There’s more space on screen to view and tweak your projects. The attention to the detail is really appreciable, even if it’s minimalist. The latest edition has the ‘Firefox Tools Adapter’ right in.

The new feature ‘Valence’ allow users to test their websites using different rendering engines. It will work with both desktop-class and mobile browsers. This tool is going to help users in a way that they can even test their code against Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS. Other big addition is ‘WebIDE’ and this suite of tools helps people create, test and launch web apps right from their browser.

From the company’s point of view, it’s just a small step forward and the team really believes that the project is going to kill many difficulties of developers. Experienced developers can focus more on developing their content and apps as soon as they open the browser.

5 WordPress SEO Questions Answered – To Make Your Rankings Even Better

Posted on by netpyxAdmin

You have questions about WordPress SEO?

WordPress is very popular these days, of the many other content management systems and web publishing platforms. Websites, web shops and blogs: all these can run effectively on WordPress as it is the only platform which offer versatility and simplicity. This platform does not require intensive knowledge of coding and website design. It’s a simple blogging system that requires you to be creative to use this free and open-source tool well.

As per the sources, nearly 25% of the world’s top 10 million websites run on WordPress. But being a simple blogging tool, it also attracts you to ignore some important elements of SEO that may hinder the performance of your website and your business. This piece of writing will address 5 WordPress SEO questions to make things easier for you to understand and apply.

Have a look at these questions and answers and you may get some assistance with your SEO campaign:-

Question #1: WordPress is SEO Optimized as mentioned on different Themes sites, Plugin sites and SEO agencies. Is that True?

NO, WordPress is not ‘Search Engine Optimized’, it is ‘Search Engine Friendly’ – and there is a huge difference in these two. For best results, you will still have to work on the SEO part and include high quality content to your website. Just creating a website using WordPress does not guarantee top rank on search engine. WordPress is just like the body of a car, where the content works as the engine and SEO strategies and other important parts.

Question #2: Which WordPress Hosting solution is better for my business?

Choosing a WordPress hosting platform depends on factors like ease of installation, web server management and cost. If you have the appropriate resources, you can go for a virtual private server manage things yourself. If resources are limited, go for managed hosting solution and let the hosting company manage things for you. I would suggest to keep following things in mind: support for Plugins, backup & restore, reputation, expertise in WordPress, malware assistance and 24/7 customer support.

Question #3: Which SEO Plugin is best for my website? Will using free WordPress themes will affect SEO?

Either you can choose All in One SEO Pack or WordPress SEO by Yoast. While making a choice between these two, remember that you may need additional plugins for better SEO results. Before deciding on which plugin to use, consider some important points such as compatibility, usage, support, and future development. When it comes to using free themes, many of them could be great choices, while other may hurt your SEO. Choose themes carefully, making sure it follow Google guidelines and SEO best practices.

Question #4: I don’t need an SEO expert once I have installed a WordPress SEO plugin, Right?

Installing an SEO plugin doesn’t mean that you don’t require an expert help because SEO is a continuous process and guidelines keeps on changing from time to time. No single Plugin can cover all the elements related to SEO and hence you need a specialist helping you in the more complex and comprehensive phase. An expert will let you know when to upgrade WordPress, when to add new Plugin, when to update content and more. A specialist can also assist you in running periodic SEO audits so you have a better idea in which direction your campaign is going.

Question #5: Adding a post to more than one WordPress categories is good for my SEO campaign. Right?

Well, you have the option to assign your posts different categories. But assigning different categories to the same post means you have duplicate content which is not good for a website. It’s better to avoid assigning tow or three categories to the same post as only the original one will be indexed.

Why Parallax Websites Lack Hold in Designing World

Posted on by netpyxAdmin

Why some web designing trends just fade away?

Much like fashion trends, web designing and development too goes through different phases and there are certain trends and techniques that rule the market every year. A trend that is a big hot today might loose its control in the coming months or even weeks. Parallax is a one of those examples whose trend has faded away with time. While it was one of the most popular and interesting design trends and there was a time when a majority of new sites were parallax.

The animated GIFs, the independently moving elements, the multiplane camera effect, 3D depth and that’s parallax happening. It was all about creating the illusion of depth in a 2D, just like we see objects moving in real life. More and more sites were transitioning to parallax for producing powerful pages and offering the right user experience. No wonder these websites were very good at conversion.

Instead of such a great popularity of parallax design, what could be the reasons that the so called web design trend has faded. In this piece of writing, we’ll try to explore some reasons on why parallax websites lacks hold in the web designing world. Let’s go:-

  • It Hurts the Search Engine Rankings – Well, when any website is developed in HTML5 or jQuery for solving the purpose of parallax scrolling, basically the entire content is on one page. In such a case, the SEO people won’t be able to provide separate meta title and descriptions for each page, thus affecting the search engine ranking of the website. The SEO people will have to work on a single URL, instead of a unique URL for each page which means no or very less scope for Search Engine Optimization.

  • Parallax Websites Load Too Slow – Parallax uses jQuery or Javascript which makes the site load really slow and that is one of the most disturbing factors. If any website fails to load fast, it have the chances to lose visitors as people on the Internet have limited time. Generally speaking, parallax is known for producing eye candy designs, but not well known for speed. This simple means that no matter how appealing your site is, you are sacrificing on visitors.

  • Parallax are Not Mobile Friendly – Parallax doesn’t really work on mobile devices, as they are visual-heavy sites only. The compatibility of parallax websites with mobile devices and various browsers gets hampered greatly because of their nature. This all makes them a less compatible and a bad option for mobile devices especially when the whole world is going mobile.

    • These are three but major cons of parallax websites and after-all design trends come and go. There are only a handful of sites working with parallax today as it’s not actually an e-commerce trend. I believe that designers are working hard to keep up with the flow.

    Kudos to web designers and developers that embrace innovative experiences and bring to us the most user-friendly design while keeping up with the latest trends.
