Phones take up a considerable amount of space in our daily lives. It helps us to remain in touch with friends and family, make new friends, shop online and know about the world around us. There are various brands of phone and one such brand is Apple. Apple’s iPhone is particularly famous among people. These phones bring a symbol of status with them and thus people who own it treat the phone as one of their prized possessions. They take good care of their phones to ensure that the phone never face any damage due to any carelessness on the part of the owner. 

However, given the fact that an iPhone is only a piece of machinery it can malfunction for various reasons. Some technical damage might occur and the phone’s internal parts might get damaged. The owner also might drop the phone from his hand accidentally and thus cause it to malfunction. No matter what the reason is, an iPhone is prone to get damaged as much as any other phone. Thus as an owner of an iPhone one should be aware of shops that repair my iPhone. Finding the right places to get an iPhone repaired is important as iPhones are extremely costly and in wrong hands they might get even more damaged. 

In order to find iPhone repair specialist you will have to follow certain steps. The best idea is to visit an Apple store to repair your iPhone. However, their charges might be high and if you are looking for cheaper solutions then you will have to find shops that offer the service of iPhone repair at lower prices. You can ask in your known circle to get recommendations on such shops. If someone of your friends or family owns an iPhone then they will be able to give you recommendations. However, if you fail to get any recommendation then you might search the internet. It will provide you with a list of places that specialize in repairing iPhones. Once you get this list, you will have to go through a selection process to find the best among them. You should compare among the found shops in terms of their experience, availability of experts and quality of service. 

Once you are able to shortlist a single shop to repair your iPhone then you will have to do some more research on it. First of all, make sure that the shop has enough years of experience to deal with any kind of iPhone related issues. You should also make sure that the shop has expert professionals who are specially trained to repair iPhones. You should then check the online ratings and reviews of the shop to know more about the quality of their services. If it has been satisfying customers over years then it should have high ratings and praiseworthy reviews. You should also visit the website of the shop to know its services in details before finalizing it. Finally, you should compare your budget with the service charges of the repairing shop.

A server rack is a structure that has been designed specifically to house technical equipment. This technical equipment includes routers, switches, hubs, and of course, servers. The rack allows to securely holding multiple pieces of equipment in one area. The businesses typically use server racks, and they are kept either in data centers or communications closets.

Furthermore, integrating the racks of a server is an excellent way for businesses to build a more significant infrastructure hardware solution. The rack integration solutions help businesses to usefully incorporated, cable, and labelled, fully tested racks for your uses. By using a reliable integration solution and methods, companies can swiftly & efficiently organize the infrastructure into a modern data centre.

The top IT companies pay attention to their server racks to get the high performance of their server working. The benefit which they get by using a good quality server rack and maintaining it are stated below:

Provides Room to Grow

When you use a good quality server rack, it will not only give you the chance to expand whenever needed, but also it’ll make sure that it is able to hold the weight of additional equipment. A rack server, which is made up of inferior material, might have space for additional equipment, but it won’t be able to hold additional equipment without braking.

Also, a great server rack should be adjustable. Being adjustable provides the owner the space to change server without fearing about the need of another rack.

Improves Security

Security is a crucial factor in a network system. The server should not be handled by someone who has bad intentions, as it will lead to the owner paying a higher price. Therefore, the rack should be very secure made with locks that can’t be accessed without the security combination. Some rack server comes with front & side lock and upgrades can be made in order to enhance its security to make it completely secure from the intruders.

Makes Maintenance Easy

All equipment needs regular maintenance for them so that they give their best performance. Server & network equipment are no different. The rack must make routine maintenance an easy process. Some racks are fashioned in such a manner that their door can be removed to access its compartment easily. If security is not an issue, then it can be left that way to increase its ventilation.

Better Server Performance

A server like most of the other electronic system gets warm at intervals. The rack should have enough space to allow a moderate flow of air in and out.

Since the racks are made up of metal, they tend to get heated really fast. Having a rack that has a large amount of perforation makes the air circulation easy, which helps to keep the server cool.

If the problem of airflow is solved, a lot of problems such as overheating can be avoided on the way.

Works with Equipment from Different Companies

Avoid a rack which is made by a particular company and works only with equipment made by them. Different companies have different capabilities, and they tend to produce the best of a particular and not all the equipment. So, try to get the best of different companies which require you to patronise different brands. A good quality rack would be able to hold equipment from whichever manufacturer you choose to buy it from.

There’s nothing as important as getting a server rack that will serve you right whenever you are in need. However, it may come at a higher price, but it is always worth it. The qualities stated above would be what you would enjoy when you do rack integration in the right manner.

Some ten years back having a website for the business enhanced the reach and made customer acquisition easy. Now, a step further, businesses use mobile applications. You might have heard about the app-based on-demand businesses. In that, users reach out to the service providers using mobile apps. Taxi booking, food delivery, courier service, grocery delivery are some of the examples.

Zero inventory has made this model popular and cost-effective. But, the initial investment is high for most of these on-demand businesses and so the scope of starting a small business is less. Still, skilled persons can start a small business through this model with little to no investment except for the app development.

Apart from providing your service through the app, you can also run as an aggregator model by listing other’s service.

I will list some small business ideas using the on-demand model. The idea is common to both men and women.

Beauty service and Massage therapist

If you are a professional beautician who can offer quality service, then start an at-home beauty service using the app. The market for at-house beauty service is great in urban areas. In the app, list the various types of service you can offer.  

Working people who have time constraints will access your service through the customer app. After confirming the place, time, type of service, etc, you can go to their place. All the interaction can be done on the app.

The same model applies for massage therapist. The demand for massage therapy grows at 26% every year.

Having proper training and license is mandatory for the above business. You have to list all the necessary documents on the app.

Tutoring

Tutoring is a highly paid at-home service in the world. Nowadays, parents want special attention to their kids at least in studies. With laptops and many edutech tools, you can provide world-class teaching. And this is possible with a dedicated and professional at-home tutoring.

So, if you are fluent and passionate at any subject like STEM, languages, etc, you can enter this field. Add the subject you teach and upload all the certificates, accolades, and recognition you have got relating to the subject in the app. You can charge the client on an hourly or daily basis.

Making the children get a good academic result is the best you can do in this business. Other similar services like music lessons, martial arts, etc are also possible with this model.

Local tour guide

Do you live in a city which has a lot of tourist spots? Do you like to travel and have good communication? Then the tour guide is the best work for you. You can take this work to the next level by using the on-demand business model.

Use an app to show your service to visitors and tourists. Showcase the languages spoken by you, the fee charged per day, etc in the app.

You can show historical places, popular destinations, museums, and many more. Tourists often face logistics problem, transportation problem, and language problem. With the app in place, the tourists can easily get rid of all the problems with just a tap.

Real estate broking

Real estate broking is a hot business throughout the year. Here you work as an intermediate between the buyer and the seller. Proper brokerage license is required to run this business.

Normally, transparency in real estate business is low since a large amount of cash is involved in this business. A miscommunication between any two of the seller, buyer, and intermediate can be detrimental. So, it is better to use the on-demand app-based solution. Each stakeholder is given an app and all the interactions and transaction details are carried out on the app.

Final thoughts

Enough said, there are no limitations to the type of business you can start using the on-demand model. The business ideas I have mentioned above have great market and potential across the globe.

If you have picked any of the above ideas, move on to develop the app solution for it. If you are doing the business on a tight budget, then I recommend you to try Uber clone scripts. They are ready-made app solutions and has covered various on-demand businesses.

The ideas I have mentioned can also be operated as the aggregator model. Market the app to get on-board people with similar skills. For every service, you can earn a particular commission.

Select proper solution providers to develop the best on demand app  and customize it based on language, region, locality, demographics, and many more.

Creating awesome 3D animation videos requires more work than it seems. It can consume a lot of efforts from conceptualization to rendering the final video. This is the reason why most of the people prefer going with 3D animation video production company to get their 3D animated video created. It can take a week or even several months to create a visually stunning video that can appeal to the audience you think to target. Let us learn what it actually requires creating an awesome 3D animation video.

Concept

You can create a 3D animation video about anything. But you need to create out-of-the-box concepts in the video to get an appreciation of people. Creativity has no limits. It is really important to keep your focus on exact messaging and uniqueness of video during the concept ideation process. You need to have a strong concept in order to make people stop by and look through the video.

Storyboard & Animatic

Once you have finalized the concept, every scene should be broken into tentative images that can help you close the camera angles and screenplay. The 3d animation video makers need to close the exact motion of models. To serve the purpose, a rough mock-up called animatic can be tailored to showcase the motion of the animation in the storyboard.

Modelling

3D modelling is the most time-consuming task to create the protagonist of the story. The higher the realism in the video, the more time it will require to develop. Most of the 3D animation ads are about the products and require the 3d models of the products. On most of the occasions, these 3D models are available with the advertisers themselves. 

For example A smartphone 3D animation ad, smartphone company will have the 3D design of smartphone that is already available. Animators will help in building more internal parts of the products which can be shown via animation.

Texturing

It is the concept of adding skin to draft the 3D model. With a precise texturing of each material, a 3D model can be made to look realistic. Texturing the glass or metallic products is easy as compared to texturing the natural products like fur, skin or human hair. It requires high rendering skills to texture the natural products.

At this stage, the animator should get the approval and closure from the client regarding the look and feel of the model. Once rigging is completed, reworking on the model is extremely difficult or beyond the scope.

Rigging

Rigging is the process of adding structure or bones to the model. The animator defines the way a product can move by adding the structure. Each one has a limited range of motion that is defined using a controller. The skin and muscles of the model react in a unique fashion corresponding to the product. The time its takes during rigging totally depends on the complexity of models and range of motion.

Animation

The animation is the stage where the final rigged model is set into motion. The animators define the object’s camera angle and the style it moves. For every motion, multiple keyframes are added and the model moves according to the set frames. With realism in modelling and texturing, along with some creativity in animation, the animator is able to create interesting concepts that come to life.

Lighting

To make model realistic and visible, lighting is done. A lighting expert can make the simplest animation look awesome. Texturing needs to be realistic. A glass textured with a perfectly lit spotlight can make the smartphone look elegant. The best example of nicely done lighting can be seen in retail outlets where each product in display is lit with the best lighting, making an impact on the viewers/customers.

Rendering & VFX

Once the animator has completed all the animation and lighting, the entire animation is rendered. Rendering is the term used to create the animation based on pre-defined preset keyframes and lighting effects. Once the rendering is completed, the output animation file is given visual effects such as text overlays or special effects like light leaks. 

Music & Sound Effects

The final step of completing a 3D animation video is adding sound to it. It is really important to sync the music with the animation to make a real impact. A skilled animator will always ensure that high tone music is nicely synced with important keyframes in animation. Once the music or sound has been added to the animation, the video is ready for the final output.

Final Output

After completing all of the above-mentioned steps, the final output is rendered. The animator shares it with the client for feedback. At this stage, the changes involving music, sound, special effect or animation can be done. The changes required in modelling and texturing would again consume a lot of time. It is suggested to close the modelling and texture part first before an animator proceed with next steps.

This is how most of the 3D animation video agencies produce a 3D video. These 3D animation videos are very beneficial in B2B Marketing for product introduction and increase sales for any organization. Motion graphics elements, 3D Animations are fun projects to start with while not getting tired.

There are various factors that contribute to the success of an online venture and one of the most important factors is the site’s speed. Thanks to the availability of millions of options online, web users have become impatient and do not want to wait longer for a website to load. On average, a user tends to abandon a site if it takes more than 5 seconds to load. Thus, your website’s speed directly influences your website’s conversion rate, revenue and user experience.

There are basically hundreds of reasons to improve your website speed, but the two essential ones are user engagement and search engine rankings. Naturally, if visitors abandon your website due to the slow loading speed, your website’s search engine rankings would be affected.

As a matter of fact, WordPress offers plenty of plugins to improve your website speed and increase your revenue in no time. You can easily customize these Plugins by engaging with custom WordPress plugin development services provider and make the best use of it. Today, in this article, we have pulled together a list of best plugins to speed up your site and improve user engagement on your site.

1. W3 Total Cache

W3 Total Cache is a popular and extremely useful WordPress caching plugin that drastically improves the speed of your website. Adding a caching plugin to your website improves your website speed by 10 times, which is pretty impressive.

A caching plugin basically saves the JavaScript files, CSS files and images of your site on the server, so that every time your website is opened it does not have to load these files over and again. This caching plugin also allows you to enable browser caching, which automatically saves images and other static data on the browser of the users once they have opened your site in their browsers. W3 Total Cache plugin displays a static copy of your website to the user instead of loading the whole site every time it is visited.

Additional Features:

• Allows caching of Javascript and CSS on CDN, disk and in memory.
  Integrated with a CDN management with theme files and media library
• Allows caching of objects on disk and in memory
• Compatible with dedicated servers, virtual private and shared hosting

2. Plugin Organizer

First and foremost, WordPress plugins are known to slow down the speed of your WordPress powered websites. Considering the fact that there is a plugin for almost everything in the WordPress plugin directory, not every page of your site needs a plugin to have an added functionality. Plugin Organizer, as the name suggests, helps you organize plugins on your site. The plugin basically helps you in choosing the right plugins for your website and disabling unnecessary ones from it. The plugin improves your site’s speed by averting it from using unnecessary bandwidth.

Moreover, Plugin Organizer comes in handy especially when you have plugins that conflict with each other. In a nutshell, the plugin performs two primary tasks – selectively disables plugins and alter the order in which your plugins are loaded.

Additional Features:

• Multi-site install compatible
• Can be used with custom post types
• Optimized for search engines

3. Digg Digg

It has been shown that adding social media buttons to your site improves the chances of getting your content shared by users by 50%. However, using social media plugin on your site slows down the speed of your site since these plugins load too many scripts when used.

Digg Digg is a great plugin that rectifies the issue of loading of too many scripts by allowing you to choose a lazy loading option. In other words, until your visitors hover over the social media buttons to share your content, fake buttons would be displayed to them to save the bandwidth and extra time these buttons take to load.

Additional Features:

• Lets you show all popular social sharing buttons including Tumblr, Pocket, Pinterest, Serpd, BlogEngage, WebBlend, Designbump, StumbleUpon, Yahoo, dZone, Reddit, Google +, LinkedIn, Facebook Share, Buffer, Twitter and so much more.

• Comes with amazing customization options to help you tweak the look and feel of your social sharing buttons
• Comes with support for print and email services

4. WP Smush it

Visual content plays a crucial role in the success of a website today since web users prefer to grab the information through images instead of reading a lengthy article word by word. However, using high-quality visuals on your website automatically increases the loading speed of your site. Let’s say you have added 5 images to every web page on an average, can you even imagine how much time would these images take to load?

This is where WP Smush.it plugin comes into play. No matter how heavy your images are, the plugin will automatically compress the size of each image to decrease their loading speed. WP Smush.It is a great plugin especially for those who have their websites soaked in the sea of images.

Additional Features:

• Processes PNG, GIF and JPEG image files
• Smush images with 1MB or smaller
• Automatically compresses your images on upload
• Allow you to manually smush your images in the media library or in bulk with 50 images at once.

5. WP-Optimize

WP-Optimize is a great plugin to optimize your database and clean up trash data, post revisions and other useless information from certain plugins. Though cleaning up your database may not seem like a huge speed booster, it certainly makes considerable speed enhancement.

Additional Features:

• Removes trashed comments, stale post revisions and pingbacks and trackbacks
• Cleans up auto draft posts
• Disable/enable weekly optimization schedules
• Enable or disable comments and trackbacks for all published posts
• Lets you add a link on WP admin bar

Conclusion

Website speed is one of the many factors that Google considers while determining a search engine rank for your site. So it certainly makes sense to invest your time and effort to optimize the site with the help of dedicated WordPress programmer to get better user experience.

The tremendous growth in technology is now influencing hospitals at a rapidly growing pace as the hospitals in the United States and the rest of the world are becoming more “intelligent” and “smart.”

The technological revolution has found its way into healthcare facilities and it is redefining the facilities in the healthcare industry in a way that is incorporating more and more of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. Online technologies like cloud computing are finding its ways into the lives of patients and people who have chronical illnesses allowing doctors and other medical professionals make more informed decisions and timely decisions making them more productive and efficient. Technologist and scientist perceive that by the year 2020 the medical facilities like hospitals will become truly smart on a large scale.

Technologies that will Transform the Healthcare industry

Some of the technologies associated with a number of aspects of our lives are leading the way in the revolution that is taking place in our medical facilities helping doctors and researchers better understand diseases and help will the administration of hospitals and associated medical and healthcare facilities.

Technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data – the fourth industrial revolution is going to transform the medical landscape forever affecting the lives of all of us. The IoT has already become mainstream and generating data at a rate much faster than ever before with data being in much greater detail. The world data volume is expected to grow by 40% a year and it will grow to about 50% by the year 2020. Perhaps, the biggest drawback is that the healthcare costs for patients are getting out of hands. The healthcare costs are going to rise 4.2 per cent a year from $7.1 trillion starting in 2015 to 8.7 trillion in just about five years by the end of 2020. It is something that makes it completely infeasible for many countries that are struggling with economic challenges.

It has been recommended by medical and administrative experts that healthcare providers must work in collaboration with healthcare system partners to bring the prices of healthcare products and services down. If the medical technologies are to play an important role in our lives then a review of the way it is provided and managed has to be seriously considered.

Two Technological Innovations Transforming the Healthcare

There are certain technologies that are emerging and transforming the way the healthcare industry works. Some of those technologies are mentioned below. 

Blockchain Technology

The blockchain is a shared and immutable piece of recorded data that is stored on a peer to peer network. Each peer has its own identical copy of this data and it cannot be altered without a unanimous consensus of the hosts that share the data. The blockchain data is stored on a distributed ledger. The blockchain is considered to be the next “Google” according to some experts and it is being hailed as one of the biggest technological innovation made by mankind that is not limited only to the realm of healthcare.

The blockchain technology is equally benefiting to medical researchers and practitioners allowing traditional data silos to be bridged for more secure and efficient use over networks dramatically increasing IT and organizational efficiencies and streamline patient’s access to medical data. The blockchain is seen as the single most innovative and the biggest breakthrough in the data security and patient privacy during the data exchange process over a network. The blockchain provides transparency not only between the patient and the doctor but in several different ways it enhances the visibility of data between different healthcare providers.

Genomics and Big Data-based precision medication and Drug Development

The human genome project led to the discovery of 1800 diseases and 2000 genetic tests have been developed for human conditions. Genomics heavily relies on digital technologies and AI as computers and robots play a crucial role in the scaling of genomics sequencing and enablement of gene editing. The genomics has its major impacts on oncology and to some extent in the non-oncology indications have explored targeted approaches. This is leading to great breakthroughs in cancer genomics.

The technology including the information technology will play a pivotal role in creating the healthcare systems of the future and transform the environments of healthcare and medical treatments in new and interesting ways.

The assurance of fulfilling user experience is a major reason which prompts people to use WordPress for building websites. It’s lightweight and efficient core code helps in the creation of fast loading interfaces. However, with the passage of time, as the interface grows, the speed can take a hit which can then affect its performance. This can adversely impact the traffic of the website and consequently the business of the entity it represents. Many people, therefore, use tools like GTMetrix to analyze page speed performance in detail. In this article, we are providing some useful information about fixing GTMetrix errors. It will help in optimizing all the elements of the tool like Google Page Speed and YSlow.

What Is GTMetrix?

Before we discuss the ways to resolve the issues, it will be pertinent to know what exactly is GTMetrix. It is a free tool developed by a company called GT.net. The firm devised it as a solution for analyzing the websites of its hosting service’s clients. The solution uses Google Page Speed and YSlow to evaluate an interface’s performance. It then generates a report which contains data like the total page size and fully loaded time apart from PageSpeed and YSlow scores.

How To Fix Some Common GTMetrix Errors?

Let’s now know about some common errors which can occur during analyses and how to fix them.

1. Server Status Errors

The tool will only evaluate a page which returns a success HTTP status code. The occurrence of this error means that the page in question has an error HTTP status code. This can happen in WordPress websites when a reverse proxy like CloudFlare blocks the tool from accessing the page. An e-commerce solution or some other plugins will also block access based on the IP.

2. Your Page Took Too Long To Load

Did you convert PSD to WordPress theme and your new website’s evaluation is returning this error? The tool waits for a maximum of 2 minutes for a page to load. In case, your interface crosses that threshold, it will display the message. The most common reason for this is a bloated website which is consuming too many resources during loading. This can happen due to inefficient professionals handling the migration. The problem can also occur if a JavaScript prevents a window onload event from executing.

3. Minify HTML

When you see this message it means that you need to decrease the volume of the HTML code in your page. This can happen due to inefficient coding. You must eliminate all unwanted or repetitive data which are not required for processing by browsers. There are tools like HTML Minifier which will help conduct the process.

4. Minify and Combine CSS and Minify Javascript

Just like the error discussed in the above point, this message means that you need to decrease the amount of your JS and CSS code. In fact, if you have not yet installed the tool, then you can ask your developer to use minification techniques while coding to avoid fixing GTMetrix errors. Deleting all unnecessary spaces and description will reduce the file size of the website.

5. Number of Requests

According to the service ideally, a website must have an average of under 87 requests. The lesser the requests the better will be an interface’s performance. This issue can be resolved by enabling lazy loading on the website. There are plugins which can be used for the purpose. These tools will load the website completely and then place image values attributes in the previous order. This will decrease the number of requests during loading.

6. Specify Image Dimensions

This message directs you to specify the dimensions of the images on your interface. You can define the height and width of the pictures through CSS. However, it will be a good idea to do the needful through HTML as well. This can be done in the following manner:

<img src=”#link#”

alt=”#description#”

width=”Y” height=”X” />

This will optimize the images and their indexing speed will get a boost.

7. Avoid Bad Requests

When you see this message it means that the requested address does not exist. In order to resolve this issue, you need to identify all the URLs identified by the tool and delete them. Removing all the non-existent links will eliminate the error.

8. Enable Keep-Alive

This means that a file needs to be kept alive between the server and the browser. The issue can be resolved with a simple trick. You only need to put the following code in the .htaccess file and it will fix the error.

<ifModule mod_headers.c>

Header set Connection keep-alive

</ifModule>

9. The URL Did Not Appear To Be An HTML Page

GTmetrix will check the content-type header for text or HTML to make sure that the page it is evaluating is an HTML page. This is done because the tool only assesses only HTML pages. The error can occur if the content-type header is absent or if its value has been left empty.

Conclusion

These are some simple solutions to common errors which occur during analyses with GTMetrix. Some issues like server-status errors can occur due to plugins. You must hire a custom WordPress plugin development to build personalized solutions for your interface. This will help in avoiding the problems.

This Friday, for an undisclosed amount the MVNO FreedomPop has been acquired from the STS Media, announced by the Red Pocket Mobile. Earlier days of this month, surprisingly it came into light that the deal for FreedomPop was valued in high eight figures – which was disclosed by some unnamed sources to Reuters. However, to this statement which was came into light was not commented or answered by any Red Pocket representative. It was mentioned in the news outlet by Reuters that for Boost mobile on which Sprint and T-Mobile are continuously trying to secure the regulatory approval of their $26.5 billion merger, STS Media have come up with the plan to focus on a bid for sale.

Red Pocket Mobile which was founded in 2006 has claimed that it offers prepaid wireless service plans, and they also included in their statement that it do operations on all of the major wireless networks in the U.S. Even though the Best Buy and Target which are having their presence in more than 2300 locations and having good handsets and services offered, the FreedomPop is playing a significant role in retail deals in online mode and that are attracting millions of customers to their plans

It was claimed by the company to the acquisition that they will enable both FreedomPop and customers of its Unreal Mobile brand in order to pair any kind of the phone with the nationwide network of their choice. And they said that they will achieve this by bringing increased coverage and by expanding its device options.

Joshua Gordon who is the founder, and CEO of Red Pocket Mobile was stated that “Any phone can be connected by the Red Pocket virtually in America,”. He also stated that they have been involved in the creation of new generation of wireless services. Among those services, the Unlock network and Unlock Samsung phone is hyper-innovative and  these are mostly customer-focused In combining with FreedomPop’s disruptive legacy.

In May 2018, MVNO Unreal mobile which is offering unlimited service starting at $15 was a new brand launched by the FreedomPop. It was admitted by the company openly that it has leveraged the competitive environment that was not afforded by the sprint. So that they have kept their proposal to Sprint-T-Mobile merger in order to launch the brand which was not possible by the  Sprint. Or else FreedomPop executives told FierceWireless at the time.

It was stated by the recent acquisition of Red Pocket that they will not disrupt their Current service plans for FreedomPop and Unreal Mobile. However, the users can expect new offerings like for example enhanced billing controls, native voice service, and live customer service.

In a statement, Kaisha Barela, who is the director of the customer experience department at Red Pocket said that The specialty of Red Pocket is that they provide top coverage and customer service. Also, he stated that they will deliver more transparency in their service options in order to make FreedomPop not just as ‘freemium,’ but premium”.

In the US, over the last few weeks there has been a bit of a shakeup in the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) space. In order to get rid of its prepaid subsidiary, Boost Mobile is looking to merge with Sprint and T-Mobile, as it was suggested by the regulators to the Sprint. A company called STS sold off its own MVNO. However, the FreedomPop is interested in buying Boost. So, now the new owner of FreedomPop has disclosed its views and plannings in providing the service such as free wireless service on any phone and on any major network.”

Although the complete details have not been announced yet, here are the few things what you need to know:

FreedomPop’s business model has always been providing the services included in its model in order to provide a small amount of free wireless data per month they will charge customers if they require more. To all the four major US wireless networks, currently Red Pocket Mobile is a low-cost carrier that is offering 4G LTE services. In addition to this, they have the prices that range from $10 per month for 500MB of data to $65 per month for 20GB of data or $60 if you sign up for auto-refill. Until now the FreedomPop customers could use certain phones only, and they could connect to Sprint’s wireless and AT&T networks only.

When you go deeper into the details, the things will get a little trickier for example, on CDMA networks like Sprint or Verizon, the $60/$65 plan will give you 10GB of LTE data. The main point to be noted here is that Red Pocket has access to all major US wireless networks while most of the MVNOs only operate on one or two major networks.

Furthermore, the company is planning to keep FreedomPop’s premium business model intact. It means even in areas where AT&T or Sprint coverage might not be strong the customers will now have the ability to use the service.

Apart from this, Samsung is providing phone network unlocking services to unlock network or unlock Samsung phone. So, if you have any problem with your phone and want to get your phone unlocked check the website Samsung unlocks for more details.

But, it should be kept in mind that creating an ecommerce app means a way for the users to buy without any hassles. If the app would have any issues there will no use of the app if they are not able to experience a stress-free and hassle-free time during shopping.

Why is it mandatory to have an app for every type of business?

If you’re working in a real estate industry and have no website yet, you’re losing a fight to competitors. For now, more than 90% of real estate firms have their own websites. And it’s no longer enough to just create one. The website should be modern, easy-to-use, and provide clients with all the information they need.

In this article, we’re describing the peculiarities of developing a real estate website and focusing on useful tips that’ll help you to build a platform that converts.

Real Estate Website: Is It Worth the Struggle?

I’d like to share a few arguments that can help you decide if a new or improved website is something you need. Let’s check them.

• First of all, once you develop a website, you can expect buyers to go through the property selection funnel without contacting you. And you can concentrate on working with clients who are already interested in buying this or that house from you.

• Having a well-designed website means attracting potential clients who browse the web to find their dream house. And searching the web works for all age groups, especially for those who are 30+ years and younger.
• Finally, a website is a powerful advertising platform, and the internet gives many opportunities for attracting more clients. Main tools include: Seach Engine Marketing (the use of relevant keywords to rank higher), Pay-per-click marketing (placing ads all over the web), and content marketing (creating blog posts, videos, podcasts, and so on).

What’s more – you don’t need thousands of dollars to launch the advertising campaigns. Online marketing works for any budget.

Core Features for a Real Estate Website

There are several must-have features both product owners and users would love to see on a real estate website. Time to take a close look at each of them.

Lists and Mappings

We can’t imagine a real estate website without sale and rent properties. There are two options to create the listing: use your own database or get access to MLS (Multiple Listing Service).

Typically, the lists contain the following details:

• Photos of a property
• Description of facilities
• Location
• Price

Now, what’s the best way to show where the house’s located? Place it on a map! Lots of companies let their clients search for the property on a city map, and that’s a great feature to offer.

High quality photos

Better once to see, and for real estate, it’s rather better to see high-quality photos. It’s simple: the more clients like the pics, the more likely they are to contact the company and book a tour. Thus, it mostly depends on how good the property looks on photos, and high-quality pics is something you’d definitely want to place on your website.

But there’s a catch. High fidelity photos usually weigh a lot. And that’s very bad for the overall website loading time, which results in low usability and rankings on the search engine. The trick is to compress images with minimal quality loss. Sometimes a simple change of image type is quite enough (for instance, PNG to JPEG).

Filters

The more thorough the filters on your website are, the more likely clients are going to find the right property faster. This is the feature that probably affects conversion rates the most.

Here are the most popular filters you may want to include:

• Address, neighborhood
• Listing type
• Price
• Number of rooms
• Home type
• Year built
• Square feet     

CRM software

Custom Relationship Management software is vital for most businesses. The right applications can greatly help with managing clients and building more effective communication channels. You may either develop CRM from scratch or use some ready-made solutions like Pipedrive or Zoho.

Those were the must-have features you should consider first when dealing with real estate websites. But it’s always up to you which features to include and which to leave behind.

A few more ideas of possible features:

• Mobile-friendly design
• CRM system
• Blog
• Calendars
• List of favorites

How to Create a Real Estate Website?

If you’ve decided that a website is exactly something you need and made up your mind about the features, it’s time to start the development. Sure, if you have a technical background, building such a website may not be an issue at all. Otherwise, you can use one of the templates, but without rich customization opportunities.

But if you belong to the non-tech part and don’t want to use ready-made solutions, the best option is to look for qualified software devs.

Basically, there are three hiring options:

1. Local developers
2. Offshore development
3. In-house team

And if you choose to hire a vendor, feel free to check the following sources:

• GoodFirms
• Clutch
• IT Firms

When you’ve finally found a perfect team, time to start the cooperation. Here’s how it usually goes:

1. Business analysis. Company’s analysts clarify and document all the requirements for the future project. This is quite a standard procedure for many software development companies.

2. UI/UX designing. Once the work on documentation is done, designers start working on wireframes. As soon as the wireframes are approved by the client, they switch to working on a prototype.

3. Development. Finally, developers start implementing the design and required functionality.

This is a very simplified description of the software development process, but I hope it gives you some understanding of how the process goes.

Cost to Build a Real Estate Website

Developing real estate websites with the features I’ve covered may cost about $75,000 and $105,000. However, it’s an approximate number based on $50/h rate (works for Eastern Europe, Ukraine). The total cost completely depends on the number of features and their complexity, sophisticated design, etc.

What’s more, the price also depends on the country where your vendor is situated:

• Eastern Europe. $75,000-$105,000 ($50/h)
• Central and Western Europe. $150,000-$210,000 ($100/h)
• USA. $225,000-$315,000 ($150/h)
• Australia. $150,000-$210,000 ($100/h)

So, taking into account the rising number of real estate websites and mobile apps, it may take some time and tons of good ideas to create a competitive product with the features I’ve described. Still, hard work always pays off – and with real estate website, it won’t take long to return the investment.

Broadly accessible hacking tools

While well-subsidized and exceptionally gifted hackers represent a critical hazard to your business, the wide accessibility of hacking tools and projects on the internet additionally implies there is likewise a developing risk from less talented people. The commercialization of cyber crime has made it simple for anybody to get the resources they have to dispatch harming attacks, for example, ransomware and crypto mining.

A dominant part of the total populace presently gets to the internet through tablets and cell phones. Nonetheless, once in a while we share more data than proposed online by means of applications that solicitation individual information, and these sources become hackers’ ideal objectives. This puts everybody in danger.

Enterprise risk management (ERM)

Enterprise risk management (ERM) is an arrangement based business procedure that expects to recognize, assess, and get ready for any dangers, hazards, and different potentials for catastrophe—both physical and allegorical—that may meddle with an association’s tasks and destinations.

The discipline not just calls for partnerships to distinguish every one of the risks they face and to choose which risks to oversee effectively, yet it additionally includes making that arrangement of activity accessible to all stakeholders, shareholders and potential investors, as a major aspect of their yearly reports.

Organizations have been overseeing risk for a considerable length of time. Truly, they’ve done this by purchasing protection: property protection for exacting, impeding misfortunes because of flames, robberies and cataclysmic events; obligation protection and negligence protection to manage lawsuits and claims of damage, misfortune or damage; and so forth. In any case, another key component in ERM is a business risk, that is, hindrances related with innovation (especially mechanical disappointments), organization supply chains, and extension—and the costs and financing of same.

All the more as of late, organizations have overseen such risks through the capital markets with subordinate instruments that help them deal with the good and bad times of minute to-minute developments in currencies, interest rates, commodity prices, and equities. From a scientific perspective, these risks or “exposures” have been sensibly simple to gauge, with coming about profits and misfortunes going directly to the main concern.

You may have been wondering why your website has not been converting as it should be. May be you are not advertising enough. May be you need to change your marketers or hire new ones. Or just may be you are one of the following mistakes. The web design mistakes below may sound simple but you have no idea how many existing and potential customers you are losing on a daily basis with each of them. Without further ado, here are some simple but conversion-killer mistakes that you should avoid or correct as quickly as possible.

Offering 24 hours response

This may be the standard 10 or 5 years ago but now it is fast becoming obsolete. When a customer sends an email of enquiries or fill your online contact form, responding in less than hour is a big indication of how you value your customers.

Some customers who were satisfied with the usual after-24 hours’ response are no longer impressed by it because some other organizations have raised the bar. The best customers get from your industry is the least the will expect next time. Well, you could use chat bots but that is a partial solution. Customers are now smarter than ever before. They know when the response comes from a bot. Why will that impress them when real humans respond quickly in some organizations? The best thing is to find a way to man your website 24/7. Your website and app developers should design your website in such a way that, it will notify the person in charge whenever an enquiry is sent.

Lack of mobile Pay

Most people access the internet via their mobile devices and the world is shifting towards the mobile technology. It is unfortunate that many websites still don’t offer payment through mobile technology. A lot of customers now pay with one of Android Pay, Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Why not give your customers such options in addition to all the traditional payment methods? Your app developers should integrate at least one of them into your website first. Others can join later.

No call initiating link

When your potential customers click the contact link on your website what happens? You display your email address, phone number, an online form, and probably the physical address of your office, right? Great. Now, if they choose to call you, do they still have copy your number and paste on their dialer? Yes? And you still wonder why you are losing customers?

Copying anything on a smartphone isn’t fun and making them to switch from your website to their dialer is worse. Have you thought of making your phone number a call-initiating link? Nothing impresses customers like just having to tap your number and a call is initiated. Everyone loves convenience. Get your website designer to implement that as soon as possible. Your website and app developers can also copy this strategy.

Leaving a product that is out-of-stock on your website

If a product is out of stock why should it still appear on your site? People go through your products to make a purchase decisions not to just admire them. Yes, you usually put an out-of-stock label on them but that is not good enough. Do you have any idea how many customers had clicked on certain products because they were attracted by the visual appeal or by the prices, only to get disappointed after seeing the out-of-stock label? Do you know how many more will still enter into the “trap”? The point here is that a good number of them usually leave the website immediately after such disappointments. Don’t let that continue. Talk to your website and app developers about pulling off any product that is no longer in stock from your website.

Not publicizing your blog posts on social media

Some companies still do not see the reason to notify their social media followers of every new blogpost. Don’t always expect your readers to check your blog regularly on their own. There are a thousand and one things begging for their attention on the internet. Boost your readership by alerting your followers of any new post on your blog and also include the link on your social media accounts.

This also applies to new products and promotional offers. In addition, some customers also guide their customers on how to purchase new products. Your website and app developers can automate the process. Once you post a new article on your blog, a notification should be sent to your social media accounts. Your statuses should be updated with the notification.

Focusing more on features

When marketing their products and services, some organizations still focus more on the features of the products. Yes, this is important but they only attract customers when you attach each feature to a benefit. For example, don’t just say the shoes are black in color. Include the fact that black goes with any outfit color. Customers read content to find out what is in it for them.

Not using explainer videos enough

Nothing brings credibility like videos. It converts customers more than text and images put together. It is no longer an option but a necessity to include videos on your website. In fact, Google ranks web pages with relevant videos higher than the ones with videos. This is why experienced app developers don’t joke with explainer videos.

Conclusively, are you guilty of any of the mistakes outlined above? May be that is why you still record low sales. Make corrections as soon as possible and see the difference. You may not make a killing after it but they will boost your conversion rate tremendously.
