5 Popular Mobile Applications of 2016 that revolutionized Web Development Brampton.



2016 is coming to an end and before we bid adieu to the year that saw Trump winning Presidency, let's take a look at the most revolutionary mobile applications of this year.
These applications changed the way we see our smartphone and completely revamped our whole outlook towards mobile apps.
We have chosen five apps from a large pool owing to their uniqueness as well as quirkiness that makes them immensely popular.
Let's take a look at what makes them so marketable.
·        Prisma.
A cross platform app, Prisma turns photos and videos into artworks using styles of famous artists: Van Gogh, Picasso, Isaac Levitan, along with world famous ornaments and patterns. Prisma displays a smart use of artificial intelligence as it takes an image, breaks it down and turns it into a canvas perfected masterpiece. There is a great chance that you have stumbled upon at least one selfie that's been transformed using this app. 
·        Google Allo
This Whatsapp rival has set the stage for major modifications in our communications.
Google Allo takes messaging apps to a new level. It is directly integrated with Google Assistant. So as you converse, it will provide smart and personalized reply options that you are most likely to use. Not only that it also gives you search options when you type @Google in message bar that enables you to search for, say, a restaurant reservation when you are planning a dinner date in your conversation. Available for both iOS and Android, this smart app learns as you converse.
·        Google Duo
Google Duo is a video calling app with a simple user interface sans the messaging feature unlike Skype. With 5 MB size, it definitely makes it a video app of choice. Google has announced that it will soon support audio only format as well that can give cellular companies a run for their money. For Android devices specifically, it has a feature called Knock Knock which enables you to see the person who is calling before you take the call. It operates through cell phone numbers directly so it feels more natural for user to call someone at their phone numbers rather than calling them on their username or email ID.
·        Gboard
Earlier available for iOS, Gboard is now available for Android devices as well. A unique app, it allows for glide typing, voice typing plus Google Search built in. That means no more app switching, you can just search and share from your keyboard.
Gboard also has emoji search, GIF search, and multilingual typing that lets you search and share emojis, GIFs and lets you switch languages mid conversation.
·        Pocket App
My personal favorite, it works as we do. That is, puts up an article to be read for later. So when you stumble upon an interesting article but have no time at your behalf to give it a read, you can put in the virtual pocket on your Smartphone or tablet.
Once saved, you can read that article even without an internet connectivity.
 These 5 apps have been creating waves and quite rightfully too. Usoftware, the Web Development and Web Designing Studio based in Brampton, holds an expertise in mobile application development with emphasis on newer and innovative ideas to take your business to a new level.

Search Engine Optimization Toronto

A complete guide to Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization is the tool to increase the visibility of a website in search engine’s natural or organic search results which ultimately affects marketability of a website. If a website appears on top of the first page results, naturally it garners more attention and finally, increases the customer base. SEO works on multiple levels, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

Search engine optimization involves in depth analysis of various factors which determine the success of this Internet marketing strategy, factors including working of various search engines, most searched items, major keywords typed in Search engines and most popular search engines among the target audience. All these factors are taken into consideration while formulating an effective strategy to place a website at the podium. Optimizing a website involves effective content management, HTML and associated coding to increase its relevance to specific keywords as well as to remove barriers to indexing activities of search engines.

In present times, mobile search is surpassing desktop search by a greater margin and is more likely to be emerged as a core factor in planning and implementing Internet marketing strategies.

There are various methods by which search engine optimization for a website is achieved. Some important pointers to consider are discussed in this article.

       Directing Search engine crawlers

Google, Bing and Yahoo! are the most popular search engines that employ search engine crawlers for the task. XML Sitemap feed can be created for Google Search Console and submitted for free to ensure that all pages are found.

Search engine crawlers basically index a Web page to be found automatically in a search result. This indexing depends on a variety of factors. 

For effective tagging of a Web page, it is advisable to employ services of a professional enterprise such as Usoftware, that offers SEO packages along with custom Web development to effectively make visible your website.

       Meta-tags

As it's important to index a Web page,  it 8th equally important to meta tag as well. Meta tagging refers to avoiding certain undesired content to be added to search indexes. These undesired Web pages include login specific pages such as shopping carts and user-specific content such as search results from internal searches. A page can be excluded from a search engine's database by using a meta tag specific to robots. The robot.txt file in the root diretory is the first file to be crawled when a search engine is carrying out an automatic search. This file instructs the robot as to which page is to be crawled and which to be left alone.

       Improving visibility of a website

Various methods are employed to increase the visibility of a website which includes cross linking of different pages within a website to increase links to important pages, incorporating most searched keywords in website content to direct traffic and increasing relevance by adding search specific keywords to a web page's meta data.
