Posted August 14, 2012 by Guest Author

Logo Adzine Adzine, A Pakistani Startup Experimenting With Whats Already In The BoxAdzine is a new startup based in Pakistan focused on a more traditional business of Print Ads, however the founders have taken this initiative primarily as a study and have plans on taking a Digital Route with their Startup.

I mean you have an idea, want to help people, solve a problem but please, with all due respect invest some time in making your Website look pleasant instead of some unattended piece of garbage can.

Add More Personality To Your Website With Sunumax

Posted September 9, 2011 by Sardar Mohkim Khan

image thumb9 Add More Personality To Your Website With SunumaxWebsites have a lot of information that many users make use of. Our blog for example is one of the countless that exist, sharing information on latest startups and technology to tips on iPhone, Android, etc. But all this is only to be read, think of the site speaking to you, reading out instructions and information, in short grabbing user attention. I wont mind having a spokesperson on a website telling me about the special features a site has or what is the best news on a particular blog.

Or a bank where there is no one to provide a lost customer guidance? I bet this will lead to losing a potential customer.
