WebriQ is now announcing a unique certification opportunity for those who have CSS and HTML programming skills. You can go through a series of online tutorial exercises, then complete an exam and submit a template that if accepted will grant you a WebriQ Certification.

A few changes have been made on the Content Management System to enhance SEO operations, e-commerce functionality and some user administration tasks, among others.

The most important addition is the broader utilization of SEO options. It is now possible to set Meta tags and descriptions for individual blog posts, custom pages, articles, etc. This function can be reached from a newly added SEO settings tab on the content editing pane. This will enhance the search hits of the site and the individual pages as well.

Secondly, the internal search engine has been improved for more specific searches. Now there is a choice to search pages and articles, shop, audio and video, subsites, etc. Also, the engine will examine the descriptions for any matches.

Thirdly, a site owner can back-up its entire user list on a particular website into a password protected ZIP file and then upload it again if and when needed.



Also, a tracker that has been implemented into the newsletter section. The number of subscribers, the number of people who have unsubscribed and the number of users who have not subscribed to the newsletters are computed.

Last but not least, the functionality of the e-commerce module has been improved to cope with different shipping conditions. There is a choice of grams, kilograms, tons or pounds for weight based shipping prices as well as the already existing per item calculation.

A comparison between Commercial Open Source Web Development, CMS and E-Commerce Systems and existing Open Source Systems. Part-1

Recent New Comer WebriQ stirs the pot with their Disruptive Technology while the majority of people are still only discussing Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal as the three best Open source Content Management Systems. These systems will be reviewed through first hand experience. But, we will add to the equation, a Commercial Open Source CMS system called WebriQ and analyze the major differences between the three open source system and then group those open source system and compare them with a Commercial Open source system.

Only within the last year has Wordpress actually begun to step up as a true CMS. However the other two, Drupal and Joomla, have seemingly always been fighting for that top spot in the community. Both are open source, and both are widely developed with thousands of members in their community helping to develop and extend the possibilities of use for each. While Wordpress is considered the underdog in the CMS war, it is most definitely the king of blogging software (something that Joomla and Drupal struggle to do efficiently).

In contrast, Commercial Open Source systems are build on open source technology but are bundled as a software service in a service platform with a large amount of standard features embedded in the platform. Those platforms have a tendency to eliminate the FUD factor when implementing the latest web technologies, they eliminate the proprietary licensing fees, they are lowering the cost of ownership by simplifying development and maintenance efforts, they are delivering a scalable solution that meets the demands of small and large enterprises and they are enticing both the Business owner and the Web Developers alike. The last point being the key difference between the open source platforms and the current available commercial open source platforms.

Wordpress ..usable beyond blogging?

It is widely accepted that Wordpress is an excellent system when you want your ideas out quickly on the web. It is therefore often used as a blog, because you are out there quickly, but Wordpress can be configured in many different ways.
Wordpress is extremely easy to use and setup. It can of course work as a blog, comments are already built into the system, as well as pinging services, multiple blogger profiles, trackbacks and common features you might expect from a blog. Most of the functionality is out of the box, and works as expected without the need of customization.
But the fact that customization was not the key driver for Wordpress, also is to a certain extend its limitation. Because very often, if you try to customize or you try to do different things with the system, causes it break or disappear altogether. Wordpress is far from being developer friendly and too many times upgrades to the system causes your website to simply disappear as well along with the upgrade and the customization and modifications you made are no longer available.

Wordpress Advantages

• Very easy to use and few modifications are needed
• Excellent for blogging or sharing thoughts in a sequential manner
• Easy learning curve, also for the not so sophisticated users

Wordpress Cons

• Not developer friendly
• The community seems to like to complain
• Upgrades bring more bugs than fixes

Drupal … can it be used by non-developers?

If you enjoy tweaking the code that makes up the framework of a website, then Drupal is probably for you. This advanced content management system is more a developer platform than a traditional CMS. Its not to say that only developers can use the system though, but to say that they will feel more at home here than in the other two. Interestingly, being more developer friendly does not automatically make it more user friendly - in fact the developer has to work hard to make it that way if they need the end-product to do so.
For those that are not so developer-minded, this can be the trial of their lives, but for people who live in code - well, they can literally get lost developing some very cool websites.
Being in essence a development platform and if you are a developer and are willing to learn the ins and outs of the proprietary system, you can surely make great websites with Drupal. But you will have a hard time make it look and feel the same way as it function. The underlying technology is perfect, the usability and the design is far from being perfect. So in a lot of cases, you could end up with a perfectly working website, but that is difficult to use and is not very neat in its design.

Drupal Advantages

• Extremely developer friendly, but you need to engage in proprietary Drupal code.
• Strong community to help discern the dozens (hundreds) of functions and tags available.
• Can be used to create some really awesome websites that can outperform a majority of other sites out there.

Drupal Cons

• Not very designer and user-friendly. It's hard for someone with little code knowledge to make the leaps required to do the very cool things that Drupal is becoming known for.
• Theming of Drupal has been a huge case of failure. Themes are made by developers, not designers
• Getting a Drupal website published could cost you more time, and thus more money, than Wordpress or Joomla and certainly compared to commercial open source software like WebriQ.

Joomla – a community of web builders!

Joomla means in Swahili (Urdu) “all together” and to a certain extend they have been living up their name of being a system that is end-user friendly, developer friendly and also takes care of the design of your website and the way a content management system should work.
Designers will choose Joomla because of the amazing capabilities that its engine has in making websites look fantastic. Newcomers to Joomla (and website management) will love the fact that it is very easy to use and even customize as more and more developers create tools that are easier to understand. Developers, likewise, will choose the system because of its large capacity for development and customization. The new MVC framework was built just so that anyone with the knowledge could override the core of the CMS without actually modifying the original code.
But it is not as flexible for developers as Drupal is and it not as user-friendly as Wordpress. It can not run multisites from one backend database, and parts of the system have to be taken as is and can not be customized or modified. In other words, you need lo learn the limitations as you are sometimes caught in between a developers platform and modules that are in essence self-contained.
Joomla claims to be user friendly, and to a certain extend it is, but you need to go through a leaning curve of Joomla specific proprietary code and unless you are a developer or a designer or both, that willingness is often lacking.
So, trying to be the all together for the web site building community, Joomla has also the risk of being caught in between Drupal and Wordpress. People who want simplicity will go to Wordpress, and through developers who love to develop and code will go for Drupal.

Joomla Advantages

• Friendly for most types of users - Designers, Developers and Administrators, but not Content Managers or end-users.
• Huge community is awesome for assisting with creation of websites
• Has been rapidly growing and improving itself for the past years

Joomla Cons

• Still not user-friendly enough for everyone to understand
• Not quite as powerful as Drupal, and can be a bit confusing for some to jump into

Recently rebuilt the entire system from ground-up, and so there are still many out there sticking to the old versions.

Our New Audio Gallery

As of this week, we will introduce our newly designed audio gallery. This will complement our already richly featured multimedia capabilities with all kinds of audio files that you can insert in any of your content pages or in the audio gallery. Your audio files can also be inserted in to one of the columns of your site and on your main page if you wish so.

You can get a sneak preview of our user interface underneath – the build-up and editing functions are basically the same as in our video gallery. You can flag improper use of audio files and report them to use. We will take necessary actions to remove those files if appropriate.

We are enhancing our video features – get a sneak preview – Video features

One of the absolute unique features of our web building tool is its capability to upload videos directly in to your websites and therefore the need to upload them first into another video uploader like Youtube and then embed the code in to your websites is of no need. Our video uploader converts all popular and frequently used formats like avi, mpeg, wmv, vob, 3gp amongst others and your uploads will be automatically converted in to mp4 (H264) or FLV, depending on the width and the height of your video capture. In lay man terms, high quality video will be converted in to mp4 and low quality video will convert to FLV/Flash Video format. We are in the process of enhancing our video features with favorites, statistics, ratings and also a FLAG. A Flag is used to file for complaints against any video that is uploaded and publicized on a website but that is violating a copywright law or that is protected under any intellectual property rights. Beyond that you can embed your uploaded videos in to any page, article, blog or widget that you have created on your WebriQ site. You can also link to your uploaded video and send it to one or all your friends by e-mail.

We want to give you a sneak preview of our newly designed screens and get your feedback. You can also try our current video features by signing on to WebriQ.
We like to hear from you, so please drop us a line in the comment boxes underneath.

This should give all our existing and new users a better experience when navigating through the different pages and sections of our portal. It will also be easier to navigate to those sections that are most appealing to you, therefore better the overall quality time you spend on our website. We would like to share some of the newly designed pages with you. Get us some feedback, give us your comments so we can incorporate them into our final design. Let us know what you think or what we could do better.
In the meantime, enjoy your experience with WebriQ.

Our New Shop Design

We currently have a basic implementation of our web shop or e-commerce tool. In the last couple of weeks we have been working hard to enhance the features but most importantly the look and feel of our e-commerce tool. So, we have come up with ergonomically designed web pages where you input all the required data in order to make shopping on your website a worthwile experience. We want to share some of our new designs with you, and get some comments and inputs back from you. You can also trial our current e-commerce module at WebriQ

We do offer you a payment gateway with our e-commerce tool, so you can accept all major credit/debit cards and Paypal payments. We can also offer you bank transfer facilities and direct bank payments as a way of settling e-commerce transactions if that would be required.
