Imran's Introduction
- As a seasoned web developer and solution architect, I can be retained for website, webapp and mobile development / bootstrapping a large project by writing infrastructure code.
- My preference is to conscious businesses and individuals.
- I also recently started showing youngsters how to go online.
- I believe not just in tech, aesthetic and content but a 360 view of what Charities are doing and how to help them.
- I no longer use wordpress, instead preferring my own AmadeusWeb.
Using AmadeusWeb for your Website
For web development, I strongly suggest we use my amadeusweb.com for long term content creation and trackability. Apart from Why Us, I can explain with example how other sites on the AmadeusWeb/YieldMore network are built / maintained elegantly and easily.
It lets you organize in easily trackable folders, all the copy for your website. It also lets you maintain updates in a simple sheet which can include links to where those updates have happened on social media.
- Initially a menu structure is discussed and finalized (top level menu / mini site).
- The site is setup, folders with placeholder files are created so the menu fills up.
- Details are pushed into the appropriate files.
- A discussion is had on what to enhance, what pictures are needed and whats to be posted socially etc.
My Web Building Summary
- I have built enterprise websites in asp.net - both in 2006 (englishtown) and 2009 (sdworx).
- From 2008 to 2013, at work it was mostly windows applications - framework and core development - which trained me to think of code organization and single time code definition.
- I've always had a burgeoning hobbyist / freelance web development - right from my first php website in 2011 to wordpress and YiiFramework freelancing.
- 2011 saw me develop my first web builder framework (also file based) with which I built 6 or 7 fun sites - most notably TLR.
- I have published the code of a series of 40+ websites and hope that students will learn to build features from them.
- In 2019 Oct, I started developing Amadeus - see stats at bottom as a simple file based microframework and web builder.
Ways to engage
- Join the youth empowerment program / refer it to your school, college or friends.
- Ask for a 1-1 consulting so we can discuss synergies.
- Typically I charge 25k+ for a full fledged website and another 5k yearly hosting.
- Am ok to discount my charges if we can find mutual interests and you promote me on your website, social media and by word of mouth.
Social Media and Promotion
- A youtube channel is made or @joyfulearth is used. Here be careful when a vendor / news channel is featuring you as ideally it should be on your channel.
- Videos are embedded where needed.
- Canva and Abode Express are used for images and videos.
- Social media is given importance, this includes LinkedIn too.
