Hi...

Off late, i had been having discussion with our team regarding Galaminds and how this can really make a difference. There had been different views coming in... some really good, some absurd... but one thing was common... they all tried to focus on one aspect... how would galaminds or for that matter any hosted solution make a difference to the company. 

Companies use websites as a tool for displaying company information to the world. Contrary to earlier notion, websites have now become core to the marketing strategy of the company. Corporations who are looking at redefining their web strategy or maybe launching their own new website should look at some basic aspects before creating their website. They are:

1. Website should have the latest features 
2. Website should display all the information related to the company (text, images, videos)  
3. Website can be easily managed by the company employees  
4. Website should work on all browsers   
5. Website should have a very high visibility 

Developing a customized solution for your corporation would mean that lot of time will be spent on developing the final product plus the cost of developing a website if you are choosing some very high end features such as photo gallery, video gallery, easily editable content functionality etc.

A very good alternative to all this are hosted solutions that can help you build your websites in minutes. Most of the hosted solutions have a very easy to use Administration Area that helps you easily manage your content. Also the features available in most of the hosted solutions are top of the line and that really makes hosted solutions a very very good option to choose. 

But isnt hosted solution really be a quick-fix solution to your web strategy. Some areas that you need to look into while choosing any Hosted solution is:

1. Hosted Solutions should be customized to your requirements 
2. Important aspect of any hosted solution is its scalability. Can the solution really scale up, can features be added into the future, how about the support of the solution?
3. Can the solution work in different browsers?

Most of the hosted solution do not look into all of these key aspects and hence the clients get dejected not getting a good deal for its money. Galaminds provides you customized Hosted Solutions that fulfills all of the above requirements and more, it automatically upgrades your websites with the latest security patches, provides periodic backups to your database and keep your websites up and running while you focus on your business.

So essentially when you start looking for Hosted solutions, keep in mind that it should fulfill all the requirements mentioned above. And choosing Galaminds would make your decision a strategic one since it cuts your costs along with fulfilling all the requirements which is actually a win-win situation for both the customer and us.

Look forward for another post of mine on hosted solutions and more...

Keep Reading & Enjoying ...
