			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The major participation of Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. in the Philippine Business and Entrepreneurs Expo ’09 is symbolic of the importance of website development for entrepreneurs and start-up businesses.</p>
<p><span id="more-561"></span></p>
<p>Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. owner and Managing Director, Mr. Jhermaine O. Fernandez, was a speaker during the entire five days of the event. His talks covered the definition, types, elements and benefits of a website; how to set up a website; internet marketing including email marketing, interactive ads, search marketing, viral marketing, and online public relations; search engine optimization; social media marketing through social networking sites, blogs, microblogs, photo-sharing and video-sharing sites, social news sites, podcasts and online forums; and website building and management.</p>
<p>Mr. Fernandez detailed the benefits that businesses can gain from having a website.</p>
<p>First of all, setting up a website is one of the cheapest and most cost-effective forms of advertising and marketing. For entrepreneurs, especially for start-up businesses, cost is often a stumbling block. Even the smallest business can afford to get a website upon start-up, though.</p>
<p>With a website, a business immediately establishes a presence worldwide and in its own locality. If the business has a brick and mortar office or store, the website can promote this and drive visitors to it. Even if a business cannot yet afford a brick and mortar office or store, however, the website itself can take its place. Product presentations as well as transactions and sales can be done through the website.</p>
<p>Even better than a brick and mortar office or store, a website remains open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It knows no time zone, no holidays. Thus, it gives a business unlimited opportunities for exposure and growth in new markets, expanding the potential customer base of the business and enabling the diversification of income streams.</p>
<p>A website is very convenient to visit for any potential customer located anywhere in the world, providing value and satisfaction. Proper use of search engine optimization and search engine marketing makes a website even more easily accessible to its target market.</p>
<p>A website also has much more flexibility than print advertising, giving the business owner the ability to make immediate changes as needed. New information can be instantly communicated to existing customers and the target market.</p>
<p>Today, the presence of a business online through a website also adds credibility to its name. It sends the message that the business is in touch with the needs of the current market and speaks its language.</p>
<p>A website also provides a venue for two-way communicative marketing when it allows feedback from visitors. A well-designed feedback system can act as cost effective market research for the business, as well.</p>
<p>Because of the enormous impact a website can have on a business, it cannot be a hit or miss project. A start-up business has to get it right the first time in order to make a good first impression. It is, therefore, recommended that the setting up of a business website be done in consultation with experts.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc., a Manila-based web hosting provider offering domain name registration, provides low cost advanced web site development packages that could include advanced interactive database driven web site development, advanced portal development, heavy web based programming, web application development, content management systems, good web site design, graphic design and multimedia components including flash animation development, e-commerce site solutions including a shopping cart using osCommerce, web site maintenance and support, search engine optimization, search engine marketing and social media marketing. Its programmers and web site developers are specialists in php, mysql, JavaScript and other internet languages and tools, crafting landing pages that effectively perform for its clients. Furthermore, Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. is a service provider for business process outsourcing (BPO).</p>
<p>Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines, Inc. is your One Stop Shop Internet and Contact Center Solutions Vendor for the Global Market.</p>

Any business, big or small, selling any product or service, needs a well-designed website with search engine optimization in order to compete in this digital age. Neglecting this very crucial marketing medium is a big mistake. Your business will be losing out while your more internet-savvy competitors gain the edge.<span id="more-554"></span></p>
<p>Some businesses may feel that they do not need a website since their products or services are not being sold online. This is a misconception. Even if you are not doing actual sales transactions online, you can market practically any product or service through a website. The internet has no borders and you can reach any target market for your business. In fact, your competitors are most probably already doing so. Can you afford to be left behind?</p>
<p>Internet marketing through a well-designed website with search engine optimization introduces your brand and your products or services to the world. It is better than any advertisement because it can be very comprehensive. It is also available to your audience 24 hours a day for as long as you keep it online. A well-designed website with search engine optimization attracts potential customers as well as potential investors, business partners and employees. Practically every aspect of your business can be enhanced by your online presence.</p>
<p>A well-designed website also adds to the credibility of a brand, whether it represents products or services. The look and content of your website should reflect the level of excellence that your company stands for. Conversely, a shabbily designed website with poorly written content will reflect badly on your company image and will erode your business credibility. This is why it is very important to get the right professional website development services in setting up your company website.</p>
<p>The great advantage offered by the internet is that it equalizes almost everything for both big and small businesses. The costs of putting up and maintaining a well-designed website is just as affordable for small businesses and even for start ups. In other words, any small company has the same opportunities as the biggest brands in competing for the attention of consumers.</p>
<p>Aside from setting up a professionally designed company website, it is also very important to keep it at the forefront of web searches in order to reach the widest possible audience, especially your target market. Consumers nowadays use the internet to search for products or services they need even before they visit brick-and-mortar stores or offices. You would want these consumers to find your website at the top of their searches. It would be useless to have the best website online if no one can find it. It is, therefore, very important to tie up your company’s professional website development efforts with excellent professional search engine optimization efforts.</p>
<p>You should also explore social media marketing as part of your company’s search engine marketing efforts. In this area, you must also ask for professional help. Social networks like Facebook may seem easy to use but special skills are necessary when utilizing them to promote your business website.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. is a Manila-based web site development company that can be your partner for your web site development and search engine marketing efforts, including search engine optimization and social media marketing. It can provide you with good web site design and effective landing pages that translate well into sales.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. is truly a one stop shop because it is also a web hosting provider that offers domain name registration. Its low cost advanced web site development packages cover advanced interactive database driven web site development, advanced portal development, heavy web based programming, web application development, content management systems, graphic design and multimedia components including flash animation development, e-commerce site solutions including a shopping cart using osCommerce, web site maintenance and support.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Website design should be intuitive for the user, experts say, yet sometimes web designers need tips on how to make it so. Here are some dos and don’ts you can keep in mind when trying to figure out how to create a good website design.<br />
<span id="more-437"></span><br />
Do follow conventions. Don’t be boring, though.</p>
<p>There are conventions in website design that users have come to expect. There should be a recognizable header, for example. The user should know what other pages the website has. The user should know what page of the website they are on, and how to get to the other pages. Navigation buttons and bars should have clear and easily understandable cues in text or images. These should be consistent in all pages of the same website.</p>
<p>Do not confuse the users by changing these elements around. It will be like suddenly changing the rules of a game midway. This is not to say that all your website designs should look exactly the same, though. The challenge is in how to creatively follow conventions without being boring. Make innovations but make sure they are within the context of conventions and will not leave users bewildered.</p>
<p>Do keep your website design clean and simple. Don’t clutter it with too much graphics and text.</p>
<p>Include only the most important elements that will communicate the message of the page clearly, with emphasis on what is most important. Make sure you present clear information hierarchy and visual hierarchy. This will make even more complex pages easier to read and analyze.</p>
<p>Text should be easy to read. Make sure the font is legible and big enough, but not too big. Use not more than three types of font in one page, and a maximum of three different font sizes.</p>
<p>Don’t put text against a distracting background. Divide your text into small chunks. Use narrower text columns as these are easier to read onscreen. Use the least amount of text possible to put across your message, but make sure nothing is left ambiguous or left out. </p>
<p>Text link colors should be coordinated with the page colors. Underline them for better visibility.</p>
<p>Graphics should catch the eye but should not be distracting. Avoid annoying animation, especially those that interfere with reading and page usability.</p>
<p>Use white space creatively. This helps the user process the page, mentally categorizing the text and image data. </p>
<p>These are only some inputs on good website design. Keep on reading and updating yourself on the basic principles of design and what users want online, though.</p>
<p>Make sure you get not only good website design but the best possible website design for all your landing pages by contracting an expert web site developer like Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines, Inc. The company’s programmers and designers who are specialists in php, mysql, Java Script and other applications craft low cost advanced web site development packages with graphic design and multimedia components including flash animation development. These websites are artistically appealing and effectively achieve the client’s online objectives.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com’s packages are customized and may include web hosting with domain name registration, advanced interactive database driven web site development, advanced portal development, heavy web based programming, web application development, content management systems, e-commerce site solutions including a shopping cart using osCommerce, web site maintenance and support, search engine optimization, search engine marketing and social media marketing.</p>
<p>Aside from being a web hosting provider and web site developer, Web Dot Com also offers other business process outsourcing (BPO) services such as contact center solutions from Manila. With its expertise and experience in serving an international clientele, you are assured that Web Dot Com can provide you with the best possible website development package that includes exceptional website design.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://webdc.com.ph/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fb6.jpg" alt="Facebook Logo" title="Facebook Logo" width="200" height="75" align="right" /></p>
<p>Facebook is touted as the most successful platform for social media marketing these days, and Target seems to have hit the bull’s eye in using Facebook for its social media marketing campaign. In fact, Target’s participation in Facebook has become some sort of positive case study on how to use social media networks for social media marketing.<br />
<span id="more-432"></span><br />
Target began its involvement in Facebook as part of its back to school campaign. It did not just barge into Facebook though. Target was wise enough to do its homework first by visiting Facebook and other social media networks regularly for some time in order to get a feel of what people were talking about and how they were talking to each other.</p>
<p>It is very important to know what is happening in the entire social media network scene. It is even more important to learn the specific culture and language within each social media network. That way, a new participant can enter gracefully, blend into the community and create connections. It eliminates most risks of making a grave mistake or social booboo.</p>
<p>Target knew that it could not preach to its audience or use its usual storytelling approach. What it did in its Facebook page was to give its intended audience – mostly students – a platform to interact with each other like in a party. After all, that was what the students were in Facebook for.</p>
<p>Target avoided the kind of language used in its usual commercials and instead adapted the language of its audience on Facebook. There was no mention at all of the Target TV tagline “Hello, Good Buy.” Instead, Target’s Facebook copy – or posts, rather – used words like “awesome” very frequently.</p>
<p>Hard selling was also avoided at all costs. There were no ads for discounts or promos. There were even no links to Target’s e-commerce site. If banners were placed on other areas of Facebook, these led only to Target’s Facebook page and the ongoing conversations there. On their own, Target’s Facebook friends were already talking about the great deals available in the store, the discounted products and other things they loved about Target. People signed in by the thousands, joined discussion groups, made posts regularly and even uploaded photos.</p>
<p>All in all, Target’s presence in Facebook strengthened and deepened its relationship with its customers, further motivating them to continue their loyal support to the store. They were no longer individual customers but a community.</p>
<p>Social media marketing professionals know how to maximize the use of social media networks for companies and professional organizations. It is, therefore, best to leave social media marketing efforts to the experts. Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc., based in Manila, offers social media marketing services as part of its low cost advanced web site development packages.</p>
<p>Aside from social media marketing, Web Dot Com packages cover advanced interactive database driven web site development, advanced portal development, heavy web based programming, web application development, content management systems, good web site design, graphic design and multimedia components including flash animation development, e-commerce site solutions including a shopping cart using osCommerce, web site maintenance and support, search engine optimization and search engine marketing. The company’s programmers and web site developers are experts at internet languages and tools such as php, mysql and Java Script. Along with seo specialists, they create clients’ landing pages that have excellent design and high search ranking.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com is also a web hosting provider offering domain name registration, as well as a vendor of business process outsourcing (BPO) services. Numerous companies and organization from around the world have been outsourcing web development services to Web Dot Com for the past ten years.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines, Inc. is your One Stop Shop Internet and Contact Center Solutions Vendor for the Global Market.</p>

Whereas Target’s social media marketing efforts at Facebook were lauded and hailed as a resounding success, its competitor, Wal-Mart did not do as well in the same social network. In fact, in the estimation of some social media marketing authorities, Wal-Mart’s social media marketing foray failed miserably.<br />
<span id="more-425"></span><br />
Target’s success was attributed to its having done competent research on the medium before engaging with it, and then adapting its message and language to the Facebook culture. Target was able to make a perfect fit.</p>
<p>Wal-Mart, on the other hand, either did not do its preliminary research, or just decided to have its own way. Actually, Wal-Mart already started out with a disadvantage. It has been widely criticized for its labor practices. Its corporate reputation has been under fire. Its presence on Facebook, therefore, could have been a way to face and defuse these controversies, if properly handled. It seemed that the people who were doing the campaign felt that they were not prepared to face full dialogue on the page, though. Wal-Mart did not put up a discussion board like Target did, and limited all comments and feedback to wall posts. Even when questioned on the absence of a forum, Wal-Mart did not budge.</p>
<p>Facebook members are quick to sense such efforts to restrict feedback, and will not take it quietly. The wall posts were soon overtaken by negative comments.</p>
<p>Wal-Mart was also perceived as insincere when it veered away from its identity as a company. Known for discounts, it suddenly tried to project itself on Facebook as an authority on fashion, style and taste. This came across as fake and pretentious and Facebook members openly expressed widespread disapproval.</p>
<p>Wal-Mart attracted only less than a third of the members that Target gained in Facebook, and many of those who visited the Wal-Mart page left disparaging comments. The entire campaign backfired because Wal-Mart’s Facebook page could very well be used as a testimonial to its competitor.</p>
<p>Companies and professional organizations cannot risk making serious errors in their social media marketing campaigns. Perhaps not joining social media networks at all would be better than sabotaging their own names inadvertently through errors. These days, though, social media networks have become so entrenched in popular culture that a company or organization’s absence in them would mean missing out on valuable opportunities to connect with a huge part of their audience. The solution is to seek the help of the right social media marketing experts. Wal-Mart may not have chosen well.</p>
<p>A Manila-based company, Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. offers social media marketing expertise along with low cost advanced web site development packages. These web packages may consist of advanced interactive database driven web site development, advanced portal development, heavy web based programming, web application development, content management systems, good web site design, graphic design and multimedia components including flash animation development, e-commerce site solutions including a shopping cart using osCommerce, web site maintenance and support, search engine optimization and search engine marketing. The company is a web hosting provider, too, with domain name registration services.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com’s specialists in social media marketing, search engine marketing and search engine optimization ensure their client’s positive and productive presence online. The company’s web site developers and designers, highly skilled in internet languages and tools such as php, mysql and Java Script, create landing pages that are compelling and effective, according to the needs of each client. It is not surprising that international clients have been outsourcing web development services to Web Dot Com since 1998. Its business process outsourcing (BPO) services also include contact center solutions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to a report at ZDNet, Intel has been making some exemplary social media marketing moves that could very well be commended as a model strategy for other companies.<br />
<span id="more-423"></span><br />
We have heard of many companies in the past who have prohibited their employees from blogging. Some have even fired employees for blogging. Because it can easily get out of hand, many companies are afraid of allowing their employees to speak on their behalf in any forum online. Social media networks are here to stay, though, and many employees have become savvy participants, albeit in their individual capacities separate from their professional affiliations.</p>
<p>Intel has decided to capitalize on both social media marketing and any of its employees’ interest in social media networks. In order to ensure that it works in favor of the company, though, Intel has put up a Social Media department and is offering to train employees interested in doing social media marketing through blogs, social networks, wikis, virtual worlds and other web forums. This will definitely enable the company to establish stronger and deeper relationships with its customers, beyond what traditional marketing and advertising can do.</p>
<p>Employees who wish to participate in the program and do social media marketing in behalf of Intel have to be trained and should abide by its Social Media Guidelines. This includes compliance with the Intel Code of Conduct and the Intel Privacy Policy. According to the company, the guidelines will continue to evolve in step with new technologies and new tools in social networking. Employees are expected to keep themselves updated.</p>
<p>Other directives given by Intel to its employees regarding social media marketing include confining themselves to their area of expertise; offering their own views on developments in Intel and the world while observing confidentiality where required; posting only well thought-out and meaningful messages and comments; disagreeing politely; replying appropriately; and completely avoiding offensive remarks.    </p>
<p>Employees are further reminded that “perception is reality” in social media marketing. They are encouraged to be transparent yet judicious. They are expected to provide leadership and excitement in the conversations they engage in. It is a serious responsibility, hence, the need for training.</p>
<p>A giant company like Intel can very well afford to train its own people in social media marketing, and even put up its own social media marketing department. Not all companies can afford to do so. In fact, like many front office and back office business processes, including web development, social media marketing is better outsourced. Instead of spending a lot of capital in-house, why not delegate the work to the experts?</p>
<p>One such expert in social media marketing is Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. It offers social media marketing, search engine optimization and search engine marketing as part of its low cost advanced web site development packages. These web packages may also involve advanced interactive database driven web site development, advanced portal development, heavy web based programming, web application development, content management systems, good web site design, graphic design and multimedia components including flash animation development, e-commerce site solutions including a shopping cart using osCommerce, web site maintenance and support. Domain name registration is also offered by this web hosting provider.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com’s international clientele has been outsourcing web development services and other business process outsourcing (BPO) services to this Manila-based company for ten years now. Its professional web site developers and designers, proficient in the use of php, mysql, Java Script and other internet languages and tools, create effective and fully optimized landing pages. High search ranking and a positive web presence is then assured by the company’s specialists in search engine optimization, search engine marketing and social media marketing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Web Dot Com concluded its  first Team Building Program last May 22, 2009 at the Sitio Lucia Garden  Resort, Hotel and Training Center located at Pulong Buhangin Sta. Maria  Bulacan. The main theme of this momentous event was <strong>“One Team towards  Global Excellence”.</strong></span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span></p>
<p class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<p><span id="more-275"></span></p>
<dl id="attachment_278" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-medium wp-image-278" title="Web Dot Com Team" src="http://webdc.com.ph/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_6855-300x198.jpg" alt="Web Dot Com Team" width="300" height="198" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Web Dot Com Team</dd>
</dl>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p align="justify"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Thirty (30) very enthusiastic  and energy-filled participants braved the uncertain weather ready to  face all the obstacles laid before them. The participants were initially  divided into three (3) groups namely: Bloody Red, Dynamic Green and  Neptune. Group members were from the different department in the company  namely: Call Center, Sales and Marketing, Programming, Front-End Design,  Back-End Design, Admin, &amp; Finance including the Managing Directors/Owners.  This mix on the team member line-up provided the opportunity to foster  deeper camaraderie and teamwork among colleagues from different department. </span></span></p>
<p><div id="attachment_286" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-286" title="Alligator Swamp" src="http://webdc.com.ph/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_6916-300x198.jpg" alt="Alligator Swamp" width="300" height="198" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Alligator Swamp</p></div></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The three (3) main points  highlighted during the program were Communication, Coordination and  Cooperation.   The obstacle courses spider web and alligator  swamp challenged participants on how to effectively communicate even  without the use of words and lack of vision or sight. Communication  is getting the response you seek thus saying the words alone is not  a guarantee of an effective communication. There is a need as well for  the right tone of voice and body language to be able to convey the main  message more clearly. </span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The need for good coordination  is also an important element in teamwork and the three (3) groups were  challenged to put this into practice in an Amazing Race ala WebDotCom.  In this exciting activity you need to locate six (6) stations scattered  all over the four (4) hectare venue where Fear factor combined with  Survivor like tasks needed to be accomplished in each station. This  required physical stamina, wit, speed and even digestive tolerance.  The teams exerted all effort to finish the race which they all achieved,  team Neptune taking the lead.</span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The culminating event  of the day which transpired towards dusk was the conquering of a fifteen  (15) feet wall forebodingly called Wall of Shame.  A single rope  was attached to the wall which could only be used once in the activity.  The challenge was for each member of WebDotCom to climb the wall in  the fastest and safest way possible. The team needed to come up with  an effective strategy to safely accomplish the task even without the  use of any external support such as a rope. In this final activity the  element of cooperation was the main test that needed to be actively  put into practice. The team astutely studied the task ahead and brainstormed  for the best and safest course of action to take. All throughout this  task, each member was committed in doing his part in order to achieve  the goal even if it entailed overcoming fear of heights (for those who  had), exerting physical effort, disregarding the heat, dirt and even  enduring  physical pain.  Thus, in only forty (40) minutes  time, a full proof and safe strategy applied, and everyone still in  high spirits, team WebDotCom conquered the wall of shame aptly converting  it to the <strong>WALL OF FAME!</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><div id="attachment_288" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><strong><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-288" title="Wall of Fame!" src="http://webdc.com.ph/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7001-300x198.jpg" alt="Wall of Fame!" width="300" height="198" /></strong></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Wall of Fame!</p></div></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The team building program  adjourned with the achievement of team WebDotCom’s overall goal. This  but indicates the commitment for the application of good communication,  effective coordination and sincere cooperation to provide a service  with a calibre of global excellence.  After all, a fifteen (15) feet  wall proved no barrier to a focused and determined group of individuals  whose diverse personalities complimented rather than was an impediment  in their goal. Reminding us of a line in John Maxwell’s 17 Essential  Qualities of a Team Player, “A team is many voices, with a single  heart”.</span><br />

<a href="http://www.airphils.com/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"><img title="Air Philippines Logo" src="http://webdc.com.ph/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/air-philippines_12573033053722.jpg" alt="Air Philippines Logo" width="221" height="74" ALIGN="RIGHT" /></a></p>
<p>Web Dot Com has been chosen to do the website design and website development for Air Philippines.</p>
<p>Air Philippines is a low cost domestic airline that has been awarded four times by the Consumers Union of the Philippines as the Most Outstanding Domestic Airline. Its parent company is the national flag carrier, Philippine Airlines.<br />
<span id="more-408"></span><br />
Air Philippines flights cover Manila, Cebu, Davao, Caticlan, Iloilo, Zamboanga, General Santos, Cagayan de Oro, Butuan, Surigao, Ozamis, Dipolog, Tacloban, Virac, Tuguegarao, Mindoro, Puerto Princesa, Ormoc, Naga, Catarman, Calbayog and Busuanga.</p>
<p>The Air Philippines website landing pages have a fiesta-like theme with red and yellow as the dominant colors, balanced by a touch of blue and generous white borders on both sides. These are the colors of the Philippine flag, tying Air Philippines to its parent company. The Air Philippines logo, which is a stylized red eagle in flight against a yellow sun, is prominently displayed and adds to the vibrant look of the page.</p>
<p>The focal point is the flash animation showing an Air Philippines plane taking off. This gives dynamism to the web page. The rolling updates at the top of the page – clickable to get to the full stories – further entice visitors.</p>
<p>Right beside the flash animation is a very simple form that visitors can use to instantly book a flight or a hotel online.</p>
<p>At the top of the page, right below the scrolling updates, are buttons that lead to sections titled Home, Flight Info, About Us and Contact Air Philippines. Much higher on the upper right hand corner is the link to the airline’s route map.</p>
<p>On the lower half of the main page are buttons that link to the Flight Schedule, Rate Sheet and FAQs. There are also buttons to get to the page about corporate accounts, the sign up for free email alerts, travel tips and the Air Philippines blog.</p>
<p>The Featured Destination page can be reached through a very attractive photo link on the main page. As this article is being written the Featured Destination is Palawan and the photo link is of the famous Underground River.</p>
<p>A much smaller flash section at the bottom of the page scrolls through thumbprint photos. This serves as the link to the Picture Gallery for Air Philippines activities.</p>
<p>All in all, the impression one gets from the website design is fun and friendliness. The visitor cannot help but associate these adjectives with the airline that the website represents.</p>
<p>The Air Philippines website is a concrete testimonial to the skills of the web site developers, programmers and designers of Web Dot com. These well-trained professionals are specialists in php, mysql, Java Script and other Internet tools and languages.</p>
<p>Since 1998, Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines, Inc. has been giving top quality service to local Philippine clients and international clients from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Korea and the British Virgin Islands who are outsourcing web development to Manila. Web Dot Com also provides other business process outsourcing (BPO) services such as contact center solutions.</p>
<p>As a web hosting provider, the company offers domain name registration along with low cost advanced web site development packages. Based on the client’s requirements, these packages may include  advanced interactive database driven web site development, advanced portal development, heavy web based programming, web application development, content management systems, good website design, graphic design and multimedia components including flash animation development, e-commerce site solutions including a shopping cart using osCommerce, web site maintenance and support, search engine optimization, search engine marketing and social media marketing.</p>

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
<a href="http://www.euphil.org/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"><img src="http://webdc.com.ph/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ec.jpg" alt="Delegation of the European Commission in the Philippines Logo" title="Delegation of the European Commission in the Philippines Logo" width="250" height="230" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>The website development of the Delegation of the European Commission to the Philippines has been ably handled by Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines, Inc.<br />
<span id="more-411"></span><br />
The Delegation of the European Commission to the Philippines is a full-fledged diplomatic mission headed by His Excellency, Ambassador Alistair MacDonald, who is the official representative of the European Commission to the Government of the Philippines.</p>
<p>Opened officially in May 1991, the Delegation has five sections, namely, Contracts and Finance, Operations, Economic/Political/Trade, Public Affairs and Administration. </p>
<p>It does not have consular tasks, such as the issuance of visas, since these are assigned to the embassies of specific European Commission nations. Instead, the Delegation acts as the official channel of bilateral relations between the European Commission and the Philippines, covering the political, development, economic or cultural field.</p>
<p>The Delegation, for example, supervises the implementation of cooperation programs between the European Union and the Philippines. It also provides information on European Union policies and institutions while transmitting up to date information on Philippine developments to the European Commission headquarters in Brussels.</p>
<p>The website of the Delegation, therefore, has to be able to efficiently manage and deliver a huge amount of information to its users while complying with the high standards of European Commission Member Nations in aesthetic design and ease of use. </p>
<p>Fittingly, the website of the Delegation of the European Commission to the Philippines contains comprehensive information on the relationship between the European Commission and the country, as well as of EC programs in the Philippines.</p>
<p>Its landing pages are done in pleasing shades of peach and blue that are cool to the eyes, with enough white space to balance the considerable amount of information presented. The layout is user-friendly, with clearly labeled links for easy navigation. The entire website is clean and inviting.</p>
<p>Prominent sections are the Ambassador’s Corner, Special Features, What’s New, Featured Links and the Cooperation Corner. There are buttons leading to sections titled About Us; EU &#038; the Philippines; EU & Asia; Co-operations Programmes; Tenders and Grants; Press and Information, Culture; EU: A World Player; and Euro &#038; You. There are links to EC-supported programs as well as to websites of Member Nations of the European Commission and to Europa, the website of the European Union. Users can key in their email addresses to become part of the website’s mailing list. This adds an interactive element to the site.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com has truly done justice to the trust given to it by the Delegation of the European Commission to the Philippines for the development of their website.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines, Inc. has extensive experience and expertise in serving international companies and organizations that are outsourcing web development to Manila.  As a web hosting provider, it provides domain name registration and low cost advanced web site development packages. </p>
<p>Always catering to the specific needs of clients, it customizes these packages which may include advanced interactive database driven web site development, advanced portal development, heavy web based programming, web application development, content management systems, good website design, graphic design and multimedia components including flash animation development, e-commerce site solutions including a shopping cart using osCommerce, web site maintenance and support, search engine optimization, search engine marketing and social media marketing. Its staff is composed of capable programmers and developers skilled in php, mysql, Java Script and other tools and languages of the Internet.</p>
<p>Web Dot Com’s experience extends to being a business process outsourcing (BPO) service provider for contact center solutions, as well. Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines, Inc. is your One Stop Shop Internet and Contact Center Solutions Vendor for the Global Market. You can trust this company for all your website development needs.</p>

<span id="more-403"></span><br />
Amnesty International is a global movement of people campaigning actively for the protection of human rights and taking action against human rights abuses. Such action comes in the form of information campaigns through communication and media channels, as well as public pressure through mass demonstrations, vigils and lobbying.</p>
<p>Amnesty International Philippines was officially recognized as an Amnesty International section on January 27, 1987. Among its many accomplishments is its role in the repeal of the Death Penalty Law in the Philippines in 2005 and its participation in the successful campaign to get UN approval for a moratorium on executions in 2007, with the Philippines as co-author and signatory of the resolution.</p>
<p>The Amnesty International Philippines web site developed by Web Dot Com is packed with information that is systematically categorized and labeled. Despite the huge amount of data on the entire site, the visitor is not overwhelmed. Perhaps this is because the landing pages are bright and feature a clean layout which clearly displays the various sections. Navigation is definitely not a problem since links are properly labeled.</p>
<p>Given a prominent position is the link to the Amnesty International Report of 2009. There are Spotlights on Human Rights and Poverty, Violence against Women, Counter Terror with Justice, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). There is a section on News and Updates alongside a section on Appeals for Action. There is a special link to Good News and another one to CampAIgn, the Amnesty International newsletter.</p>
<p>There are buttons labeled Donate to Amnesty International, Join Amnesty International, and More ways to get involved.</p>
<p>There are also several search buttons. One is to select a country where Amnesty International is active and another is to select a country with human rights abuses.</p>
<p>There are buttons leading to the sections on Amnesty International in the Philippines, Act Now, Join Us, Activities and Publications.</p>
<p>The Amnesty International Philippines section is comprised of subsections titled Who We Are, explaining Amnesty International; AI Philippines; Networks, Statute of AI, AIPh ByLaws, UDHR and FAQ. </p>
<p>The Act Now section is comprised of subsections titled Direct Appeals, Urgent Actions and Donate.</p>
<p>The Join Us sections has subsections titled Members, Local Groups, Form a Group and Volunteers.</p>
<p>The Activities section has a list of AI Philippines activities since 1998, categorized by year.</p>
<p>The Publications section contains downloadable materials as well as subsections for the Newsletter, Reports, Library and Archives.</p>
