Agile Web Development: An Overview

Website design is easy, it might seem. However, things are not as smooth as it might look. There are several considerations and thus, there are several methods of developing a website. In fact, most of these methodologies are valid for software development as well. A previously popular method was the waterfall method which had its fair bit of success. But as the web development evolved, other methods became popular. Presently, agile web design methodology is the most popular. Among the most beneficial features of Agile web design is how it takes the input of the customer into the fold and decides the next logical step by accommodating the feedback of the previous stage. Thus, this is, by far, the most flexible web design methodology now and deservedly so because websites are becoming highly customisable these days. Most of the leading agencies for website design in Bangkok are using agile web design to deliver projects to their clients on time.

Agile web design is the future of web design because it implements the changes as the development goes on. For one thing, a relatively inexperienced website owner doesn't need to think of everything in advance. He can provide his inputs as the developments move on. This makes the interaction between the client and the web developer very important, in this methodology. The client is involved in every step of the development and thus, the website is as close to the imagination of the owner as it is technologically possible.

Importance of Link Building in SEO

Yes, every blog on SEO in Thailand you read told you how important the links are for your website to rank. However, very few explained to you exactly what happens when you have links and why they are important. Let us explain.

Google is constantly searching the internet for content and noting them in their database. While going through the contents on the internet, they also encounter links. They follow these links and check out the contents of these links as well.

Now, suppose you sell shoes online and your website is all about shoes. Also suppose that there is a very prominent discussion board on a website, dedicated to leather shoes, where your link is mentioned. Google can understand the theme of a website by the general content it publishes and thus, it knows the discussion forum is more or less an authority on shoes. Now, in real life, if an expert names you, in a discussion as a reference, would interested people take note of it or not? Same happens on the internet with Google. When it sees that an authority site is naming you (linking you, in this case) it will take note of you, regarding shoes. It will increase your ranking because knowledgeable people cite you in their discussions.
