Education and self-education is one of the main factors that allow QuartSoft to always keep up with the latest IT tendencies and remain one of the leading web design and development service providers based in Eastern Europe.

Having been a web design & development partner with SmartReply Inc., North America’s largest mobile marketing and mobile advertising provider, for a certain while we are very proud to announce that we have reached the new level of partnership between SmartReply Inc. and the QuartSoft team.

A few representatives of QuartSoft team (which unites teams of w3logodesign, w3rent, w3websitedesign, w3graphicdesign, w3illustration) will take part in the Second Open Regional Software Development Conference held by the IT Department of the Donbass State Engineering Academy on April 15.

So your website is up and ready. What’s now? How to make customers find your website and buy what you are selling? Most of site owners ask themselves this question many times a day.

Unfortunately, today a lot of companies and individual businessmen consider it unnecessary to hire a professional web designer / developer. As a rule, they think they can create a website using their own resources who in fact are amateurs in web design. Before making decision to bring your business online without hiring professionals in web design and development it is important to consider a few things to determine if you have enough in-house resources to build a decent website. Design, functionality, usability and content of your website are especially important if you want to expend your business beyond the local market and you will have to work in the environment of tough competition.

If your company has nothing to do with internet technologies, communicating with a web designer or developer you want to hire can turn to be an uneasy thing. You and the web designer may seem to speak different languages when it comes to discussing certain issues of your company’s website design. The thing is that a web designer or developer takes into consideration not only visual aspects of website building but also some technical peculiarities of web designing and developing process. In fact any web designer should consider combining website’s visual appeal and good usability which comprehends absence of redundant design elements, user-friendly layout and navigation and many other specific web design issues such as multi-browser compatibility.

If your business is not related to the web design or programming field you may think that a website is completely created by a web designer. However, a fully functioning website comprehends design and development, hence at least one web designer and a web developer (unless the same individual is both a web designer and a web developer) are needed to build a professional dynamic website from scratch. Thus web design and development are quite different disciplines which difference I want to explore in this article.
