Recently I came across an website offering a cool before and after gallery for webdesign. I was really impressed with the idea of displaying web designs in such perspective. I have seen numerous web design websites, however, hardly any of them have thought about using this type of Before and after technique.

The site seems to offer web design, search engines optimization, web site hosting, marketing, tech support and various other services.The site does have a nice small “Request A Free Quote” form which makes it easier for prospective clients to contact them. The site also provides services like blogging.

The site does offer a complete portfolio as well as some credentials for the search engine optimization services. It is nice to see that they do rank in Google for their main targeted keyword Arizona Web Design. This would definitely give their prospective customers some added confidence.

In addition they have an enviable client range that includes big names like Nissan, National Car Rental and University of Phoenix.

While the overall feel of the site is good and the design is clean, excessive focus on search engine optimization, particularly from content perspective, makes some of the pages look a bit spammy. For example, the page on Blogging has unnecessary mention of the word “Arizona” and at times makes the sentences meaningless. All in the name of search engine optiomization :(

Technology giant Microsoft Corp said on Friday that it had offered to acquire Internet media company Yahoo Inc for USD 44.6 billion in cash and stock.

Microsoft said it had offered to buy Yahoo for USD 31 per share, which it said represented a 62 per cent premium above the company's closing stock price on Nasdaq on Thursday.

"We have great respect for Yahoo, and together we can offer an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, publishers and advertisers while becoming better positioned to compete in the online services market," Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said in a statement.

Yahoo was not immediately available for comment. Microsoft said it had identified four areas that would generate at least USD 1 billion in annual synergies for the combined entity.

Yahoo shares rose 56 per cent to $29.95 in pre-market trading on Friday following the announcement. US stock index futures also jumped after the news was released.
