Summer of Love

Monday, September 28th, 2009

SloDive recently posted an article named 40 Free PSD Website Templates. This is an excellent resource for designers who don’t want to start from scratch with their designing process or for developers who are not very good at designing. This xHTML/CSS template that we have coded for you guys can easily be integrated with any content management system. It is purely table-less and semantically correct for SEO purposes. Go ahead, download it and start your own band or organize a music event!

Personal Computer Assistant

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Personal Computer Assistant is a very simple application and has very common features. Anyone who uses a computer a lot will be benefited by it. This was developed by myself and a very close friend of mine, Rakesh. Below is a demo graphical user interface which shows how the software looks like and how the user can interact with it. The main buttons in this demo GUI are interactive and you can click on them to know more about the different features.

Once installed the application minimizes itself to the system tray. Whenever you click on it, the main window is maximized and the emergency note pad is in focus automatically. I implemented this feature because many a times I needed to scribble something and had to start notepad. So I thought this would faster and comfortable for me. After writing in the emergency notepad, you can save it anywhere you want. The application is still in Beta phase. You can download and check it out. Don’t forget to comment!

Requirements:

Windows Installer 3.1

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0

Supported Operating Systems:
Currently only supported in Microsoft Windows XP and Windows operating systems before that.

The Launch!

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Code-pal started as a company which provides PSD to XHTML/CSS services. But since our first launch, in January 2009, we have grown with time and expanded our range of services. The previous version of code-pal was a very dark themed website and was more of a fun site rather than a professional one. There were many drawbacks of the previous version. To name a few, it was a static site and as our work experience grew, it was a very time consuming task to update our portfolio at regular intervals. The biggest disadvantage was that there was no blog. The main aim behind redesigning the site was to integrate a blogging system within the site where we can share, learn basically interact with the web community.

This is how the homepage of our previous site looked like:

The main features of this new site are as follows:

The home page consists of a giant portfolio viewer, order form, a feed of what our client’s say about us and a recent blog post section. The portfolio is a simple page consisting of all the work we have done till now some details about each of them. The services page enlists all the services we are currently providing.

In the project section, we are going to display all the projects and research work we have worked upon or are pursuing. The download section is going to consist of a wide variety of freebies which you can download and share. At present, we are going to start by providing free xHTML/CSS templates and later on we will be increasing our stocks with different stuffs like wordpress/joomla themes. We are also working on a windows desktop application at present and soon will be launching a free version of it too.

The blog section is going to be all about tutorials, articles, news and stuffs. Initially, we are going to start writing about coding and web development only. There are loads of awesome web development communities out there and we want to pitch in with whatever we can to help this web community grow and prosper. This can only be possible if we receive the same love, support and encouragement from you.

The homepage of the new site looks like this:

Even before the officially launching the site, we have provided two templates for download. Over the new few days you might constantly see some changes here and there. We are still in the process of completing the whole design process and fixing stuffs here and there. Please feel free to review our site. Don’t hesitate to comment if you like the redesign or even if you hate it. Of course let us know the reason behind it too. We warmly welcome suggestions on how to improve it further.

I have worked with many code developers on many different projects and have not received a service quite as good as the service provided by Codepal. Sumeet Chawla offers a friendly and informed service with outstanding support, producing professional work on time, every time. I have found that Sumeet’s technical knowledge has helped me make fast decisions within the design process, he has also been flexible enough to try out new Ideas, and has helped to work out the best possible implementation for them. Codepal are not just another service provider, they really feel like part of the team here at Buck Design Ltd.
