		<description><![CDATA[<p>Recently I was reviewing the <strong>UK phone number validation</strong> on a web service we built for a web maintenance client. I noticed that a large number of people have entered phone numbers in the format 447&#8230;.. instead of the more traditional 07&#8230;.. and are therefore getting rejected. Just by updating the validation to accept such numbers, <strong>we will salvage around 5 leads per day</strong>. This is equivalent to <strong>150</strong> more leads per month or <strong>1825</strong> more leads per year. Not bad for 15 minutes of work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I was reviewing the <strong>UK phone number validation</strong> on a web service we built for a web maintenance client. I noticed that a large number of people have entered phone numbers in the format 447&#8230;.. instead of the more traditional 07&#8230;.. and are therefore getting rejected. Just by updating the validation to accept such numbers, <strong>we will salvage around 5 leads per day</strong>. This is equivalent to <strong>150</strong> more leads per month or <strong>1825</strong> more leads per year. Not bad for 15 minutes of work.</p>
<p><strong>Here is a summary: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Typically UK users enter phone numbers as 020&#8230;.., 01274&#8230;.. etc. The mobile numbers are mostly 07&#8230;..</li>
<li>While this is fairly well standardised, there are some users who enter numbers like 7&#8230;.. (without the leading zero), or as 447&#8230;.. (44 is UK country code). A few may try to enter +447&#8230;.. (technically much more accurate as this will work from anywhere in the world). You should be able to accept these. We have adopted a pre-processing script that converts all these to the much more standardised 020&#8230;.. or 07&#8230;.. type formats.</li>
<li>Some people also enter numbers like 4407&#8230;.. where the zero following the 44 is not needed. We also take care of removing these extra zeroes.</li>
</ul>
<p>These changes are quite small but have allowed us to accept several more submissions and will increase the daily lead count by a nice margin.</p>
<p>Check out your validation routines to locate such blocks and clear them up. Or you can engage our <a href="http://www.webmaintain.co.uk" target="_blank">web maintenance team</a> to review and update your entire website.</p>

This will be very attractive to people managing small teams &#8211; from 2 to 50. Of course, you can use A1Tasks to keep a track of your personal things to do also.

<p><strong>Here are some great features of A1Tasks:<br />
</strong><br />
<strong>1.</strong> You can assign a start date as well as a due date. Thus, you can assign tasks for future also.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Very simple table view with advanced filtering of tasks to see just the tasks you need to follow up.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> See your own and delegated tasks in different tabs.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> You or the assignee can post clarification notes on every task. Similarly one can post progress report also.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Any number of files can be attached to tasks to provide supporting information like shopping list, feature list etc.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> Assign any number of labels to each task and view a filtered list of this category only when following up.</p>
<p>The features are deliberately kept very simple and we are proud to share with you that a <strong>typical person will take about 2 minutes to learn this software</strong>. The software is available for download and installation on your own server for <strong>full privacy of your tasks</strong>.</p>
<p>All this for a very nominal cost &#8211; just $9.97 for a lifetime license. <a href="http://www.a1tasks.com/">Go grab it</a> before we raise the prices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How fast do your web pages load?</strong> You might know that Google and other search engines now consider page loading speed as a vital factor in ranking your site. In fact, the page speed also helps you <strong>keep the users longer on the site</strong> because a slow website makes them abandon the site. So what are you doing about it?</p>
<p>There are several ways to improve the loading speed of your pages:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Optimize the images</strong> &#8211; you can make do with much lower resolution on the web. Also do not resize the images on the fly &#8211; make an exact size image.
</li>
<li><strong>Employ Gzip or mod_deflate based compression</strong>. This will compress the html, js and css pages at the server end and the browser will decompress them at the user level, reducing the amount of data transferred and making the page load faster.
</li>
<li><strong>Employ caching of files</strong> &#8211; you do not need to reload all the files when loading the next page or reloading the same page. Several assets can be used from the browser cache.
</li>
<li><strong>Use multiple sub-domains</strong> &#8211; A browser typically loads only 2 files at a time from one source. So if you can load images from multiple sources (like a different 3rd level sub-domain), more of these can be brought in together. However you should not employ too many resources as each domain name takes some time to resolve.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Applying these tricks can make your websites load faster and offer a much better experience to the user, resulting in higher response rates. Our <a href="http://www.webmaintain.co.uk" target="_blank">web maintenance service</a> optimizes several aspects of your website to <strong>improve the response rate</strong> and lets you <strong>generate more leads</strong> for the same marketing expense. Check out the details today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a PHP programmer or willing to learn PHP programming (and already know C++ or ASP), this is a <strong>unique opportunity to work and polish your skills</strong> by working directly under me. Even if you have completed your engineering in the last year and are doing a mundane job that is getting you more frustrated than excited, you can be a fit candidate.</p>
<p>The PHP development work we do focusses heavily on efficient and usable design. While <strong>you will be drawing a nice salary</strong>, you will get tremendous satisfaction and excitement at <strong>learning from an expert developer</strong> with an intimate knowledge of systems.</p>
<p>You will be working on PHP 5 based projects where we will discuss how and why database designs should be done in a particular way &#8211; What are the best ways to do efficient coding and how to reuse the old code and systems for quick turnaround of the projects.</p>
<p>Interested? Send an email to <strong>hr AT ebizindia.com</strong> mentioning &#8220;PHP&#8221; and a paragraph about why you should be chosen for this. Attach your updated CV also. As you can understand, this are limited openings and you might lose out if you are slow in taking decision.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There has been a huge rush for booking the .co domains, which was  recently relaunched. People who got their .com names earlier are booking  the .co names to protect their brand names and those who missed out are  now catching up by getting the .co names.</p>
<p>However you should  really focus on getting the domain names that include your keywords.  While different people have been saying different things, it is a proven  fact that keyword rich domains get a preference in the search engine  ranking.</p>
<p>We have a few <a title=".co domains" href="http://www.ebizindia.com/codomains/">.co domains on sale here</a>. If you like one or a few of these, make an offer. We seriously consider all reasonable offers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How does your web site look</strong> when viewed through an iPhone or a Blackberry? Do you know that smartphones like iPhones and Blackberries are increasingly being used to search for information on the Internet and also to view different web sites?</p>
<p>If your regular web site does not render well on these devices (because they are made for the wide screen of the regular desktops and laptops), the mobile users will be unable to view the required information and <strong>request for a quote</strong>. They will give up on your web site and go to the site of a competitor. Whoops!</p>
<p><strong>It is easy to solve this problem.</strong> All you need is a specially designed web site that is <strong>&#8216;made for&#8217; the small screens</strong> of the smartphones and renders clearly on these. The information has to be compact (like that used on the Google Adwords) and directly usable. Also you need to put up prominent links to <strong>call for more information</strong> or a simple form that they can fill up easily.</p>
<p>Check out our <a title="iphone web site design service" href="http://www.webile.co.uk/" target="_blank">mobile web design service</a> and start tapping into the large population that carries the Internet in their pocket. You will be able to <strong>recover your small investment</strong> very soon. A client of us is already getting about 5 to 10 leads per day, within days of going live with their mobile site.</p>
