			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New look and feel with loads of friendly features to offer you the best of web designing and development:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lahore – The newly designed website of the Pace Solutions is going live today on the www. The design and development of the new website has been done basing the world renowned <strong><a title="CMS Drupal" href="http://www.pacesol.com/blog/category/drupal/">CMS Drupal</a></strong> which is quite well known for its exceptional functionality and unyielding security features.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The new website features expanded content with all the necessary details about their services. To optimize the overall customer experience, the website has been given a sleek design with very clean aesthetic lines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unlike many other nice looking but unfriendly websites that fail to guide the visitors to their desired services, the new website has been designed to provide maximum ease to the users when searching for the particular details about the services they are interested in. The <strong><a title="expert designers and developers" href="http://www.pacesol.com/services.php">expert designers and developers</a></strong> who have taken part in the development of the new website say: when users are at our website once, they do not have to wander even for a single minute to find out about the services we provide. It speaks for itself when it comes to guiding the visitors toward the particular information or details.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Several factors led to the creation of the new website and one was an extremely successful first quarter. The company did a very good business on their <strong><a title="Drupal web design and development" href="http://www.pacesol.com/blog/tag/drupal-web-design/">Drupal web design and development</a></strong> services. No doubt, Drupal CMS development and design has emerged as the real forte of the company and considering this popularity, Pace Solutions decided to give a Drupal touch to its own online appearance. And what can work better than this? It’s, indeed, a nice way to show the clientele the wonders that Drupal can do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Web form</strong> is often the main communication channel between visitors and site owners. Feedback is always important which is why it’s necessary to make sure that web forms are easy to understand and intuitive to use. Nevertheless, even in form design one can afford some healthy portion of creativity.</p>
<p>Web forms don’t have to be boring and, using CSS or Flash, you can easily make sure that they are appealing and effective. To get noticed, you need to come up with something unique and interesting — symbols, icons, colors, position or the size of web form are often used to achieve interesting design solutions. We’ve searched for some examples and we’ve found them. Creative, original and unusual web forms.</p>
<p><strong>Clean, Simple and Beautiful Solutions</strong></p>
<p>Since web form is probably one of the most important sections on the web-site, it’s necessary for you as a designer to make sure that visitors can easily understand what information they need to fill into the form fields. Complex and long web forms increase the cognitive load for users — they are just harder to deal with. In this context, <strong>preferring simple and clean solutions</strong> seems like a sound approach. However, if the form was designed with an attention to details and looks good, it’s also reasonable to use some attractive imagery in the forms.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is grab a cup of coffee, open up my laptop, turn on my desktop, flip on the TV and wait for my Personal Computer to kick on so I can catch up with what is really going on in the world.  Not just 5 years ago, newspapers where one of the most viable resources for gathering world news along with the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/">BBC</a>, <a href="http://www.cnn.com">CNN</a>, <a href="http://www.wn.com">World News</a> and good ole word of mouth marketing.</p>
<p>Today those numbers have decreased drastically as folks get up and sign on too plentiful communities like <a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.linkedin.com">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.ning.com">Ning</a> to capture the most up to date  news on life, love, business, war, politics and all of this is edified by people that you like and trust  instead of a face only familiar to the television.  What is more astounding is that Social Media is not the most prevalent in the United States, US comes in at #9, where <a href="www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/.../06/...zuckerberg/index.html?">Mark Zuckerberg</a>, creator of Facebook and <a href="twitter.com/Jack">Jack Dorsey</a> the creative genius behind Twitter reside.  Interesting enough the leader in engagement of social networks is clear across the globe with the average user viewing over 1,200 pages a month and spending over 6 hours a day online is in Russia.  Brazil and Canada don’t trail far behind and countries such as Spain and Puerto Rico are outweighing online time to Americans according to <a href="http://www.comscore.com/">comScore</a> data. In 2009 alone social networking sites are up a piercing 65% according to <a href="MarketingCharts.com">MarketingCharts.com</a>.</p>
<p>What is more interesting is that Social Networking sites that Americans are knowledgeable about are not even the hottest networks on the market. In Russia, <a href="http://www.marketingcharts.com/interactive/top-20-countries-for-socnet-engagement-9675/comscore-russia-selected-leading-social-networking-sites-may-2009jpg/">Vkontakte.ru</a>: Russia’s Largest SocNet Site is a giant and has its country activated and communicating one click at a time.</p>
<p>So why social networkings are sites dominating so brilliantly across the globe?  Big business is likely to be trusted, advertisement doesn’t quite work like it use too and people are fed up with being told what and how events are going to unfold to find out hours later that it was only a farce or “miscommunication of facts” . Today it is much easier to log on, find someone with commonality and respect that is considered an authoritative source on their topic and embrace their belief system or thought and ideas over hyped up reporters and loud mouthed radio hosts looking or ratings. Word of mouth marketing is still is strong as ever it is just being translated a little differently these days.  Global Consumer and market research company <a href="http://www.mintel.com">Mintel</a> share how consumers are different today than 5 years ago. Polling, research, ask, and ask and ask, try before we buy is the model more people have adopted. Due Diligence has taken over in tough times when branding and a funny commercial just don’t cut it.<br />

<p>Haven’t quite jumped on the train of <a href="http://www.marketingcharts.com/topics/behavioral-marketing/real-life-recommendations-beat-online-by-wide-margin-9345/">Social Networking</a>? Planning on bucking the system like when cell phones and computers came out? You will get left behind! Don’t fret, you don’t need to get a social networking account in every <a href="http://www.pacesol.com">country</a>, language and <a href="http://www.synergybuzz.com">neighborhood</a>, find someone across the globe, down the street or a friend you already know and start a conversation online about what really matters to you, you might be surprised how much you learn from sharing.</p>
