Exactly one year ago, as the economic recession was hitting the US economy, we published what we believed were top business strategies in tough times. The main idea was that it is possible to take advantage of a difficult economic period to boost a business and bring it to the next level. And here we are a year later, after many successful projects and start-ups, I think we can say that these strategies worked well for us!

One thing that was important for us during this past year, was to keep our hourly rates low in order to maintain our business flow while providing clients the ability to get cutting edge web solutions without necessarily having a huge budget. This policy gave us the opportunity to work on a wide variety of interesting and challenging projects, and to boost our web design company to become one of the most demanded web design and web development companies out there.

Noam Design has done it again! We are proud to (almost) announce the launch of our latest web startup!

Template Action offers professional CMS website templates and Flash CMS templates available for immediate download. All the CMS templates were custom designed by our web design team, and are integrated with 100% custom-made Content Management Systems.

We’re still populating the catalog and adding many outstanding CMS templates every day. So if you can’t find the website of your dreams in the 15 or so templates that are there now, make sure to come back in a couple of days to browse the fully populated catalog. The site will officially launch with more than 100 great CMS templates and Flash CMS templates! Stay tuned.

P.S.: CMS stands for Content Management System. Basically all Template Action‘s website templates come integrated with powerfull tools to edit, manage, and customize the websites without requiring any programming skills. Once the CMS template is installed, users can login on their website and access an extensive (yet very easy to use) admin panel to edit pages, content, images galleries, etc – “as easy as a Word document”.

I often get asked questions such as “how did you come up with this idea” or “what made you think of this concept”. The thing is that different people have different personalities and are good at different things. Personally, I have ideas all the time – way too many ideas! I don’t sit down thinking or trying to come up with ideas – but I think I am the most productive at coming up with concepts when I… (more…)

The launch of an Ecommerce website should be officially announced only when it gets its first few orders.

A couple of weeks ago, I passed on a project with a potential client who wanted to work with us on the development of his web start-up business. Technologically the project was quite interesting as it involved a few challenging aspects as well as a relatively wide array of professional skills. Overall, the project was a perfect match for our web development company and it would be basically impossible for this client to find another web development firm with the necessary set of skills to complete the project in a professional manner.

Magento is a great platform to design and develop Ecommerce websites. We’ve been working with Magentosince the early days when the platform just came out in early 2008 and have been using it since then. We’ve worked on countless projects that involved customizing Magento, desigining Magento themes, further developing the Magento platform, etc… And we’ve gone a long way! Looking back at some of our Ecommerce projects, I thought it’d be interesting to share 3 web design projects which I feel were defining moments in our Magento development carreer!

1. Our first Magento project was for a company named “Ironwood Communications” which was bought by Direct TV following the successfull launch of the Ecommerce site we developed for them. Check out the project case.

2. After hundreds of Ecommerce web design projects, quickly implementing top quality Magento stores and providing deep Magento customization became like a second nature for us. So we were able to focus more on the promotion aspects of the websites we launched, particularly with SEO. Check out the Magento site we implemented in about 1 week for the largest Tsurumi Pump distributor in the USA!

3. We used Magento on our latest web start-up! We wanted Website Temple to be a cutting edge Ecommerce-based website that would be prepared for growth and we chose the Magento platform to base our work on. It ended up being a very smart move!

The web never stops but web designers do need to recharge their batteries from time to time… On Monday, September 7 2009, our Web Design Company will be closed so that the team can enjoy a long labor day weekend – hopefully with nice weather!

We’ve been working very hard on the continuous development of our latest web startup: Website Temple! And we all deserve some rest. Check out some of the latest awesome websites we’ve created: (more…)
