Welcome to the Web Design Bureau Bouquet Banané Bash. This is a Mauritian Web designer oriented contest but is also open to anybody wanting to have their hands in Web Design as well as people wanting serious premium blog/site templates (you don’t have to be a designer to use them). You can also offer it [...]
Mauritian Web designers (and Mauritian budding/experienced bloggers), go pro while saving your money! One of the major hindrances web designers go through in Mauritius is the availability of ressources. Along with that comes the price to be paid for hosting and domain name. There has been a good discussion about domain names over at Islandcrisis [...]
Part of the wikipedia definition: “Using SaaS also can conceivably reduce that up-front expense of software purchases, through less costly, on-demand pricing. From the software vendor’s standpoint, SaaS has the attraction of providing stronger protection of its intellectual property and establishing an ongoing revenue stream. The SaaS software vendor may host the application on its own web server, or this function may be handled by a third-party application service provider (ASP). This way, end users may reduce their investment on server hardware too.”
This post explores Saas and tries to induce a reflexion of the future of Saas offers in the future in Mauritius.
Search Light Digital has published an interesting article on the different CSS layouts you’ll come to build a website. Check out the last guide to css layout you’ll ever need.
There has been a large number of website publications in Mauritius these last weeks along with disastrous concepts such as the L’Express website (discussed over here). One of the major problems that seem to be quite difficult to get over is copywriting. As stated in my last post on Fantasmédia and in the discussion over [...]
Published in L’Express on the 27th of November 2008 Michael Anseline, 24 ans, est chef d’entreprise. Il est un des fondateurs de la firme Fantasmédia qui est dans la création de site web, l’événementiel ou encore la modération. «La création d’un site web peut prendre une semaine à trois mois.

Remember that the word “sex” claimed to be the most searched word on the web for a long time? Well, times have changed and Web 2.0 have tanned its hide. I’ve been hanging around on Google Trends these days and just thought about how things could have changed around the world with the advent of [...]
Marshall Kirkpatrick covers the flaws of Google’s new toy. Searchwiki is bold but cranky and is already filled up with spam comments and what not. Is it a good idea then?
There’s a lot of talk over the advent of the Internet in Mauritius and l’Express even had an article on the new practices over the Internet especially concerning on line purchases, Internet banking or job seeking (though I doubt that it is a good thing to compare online shops in Mauritius with business models such [...]
Yahoo! is releasing a new version of search engine retrieving a mix of available media results such as web results, sponsored links (nothing new here), videos, online radios, images, blog search, news, all of which are aggregated on one page. This new baby is called Glue. While still being in Beta version, it does display [...]
Talent is precious. So precious that it can get wasted. Mauritian web designers are talented people but nobody has actually taken hold of these talents in different fields and exploited them. A major of part of these qualities are used by foreign agencies working a lot in outsourcing and the Mauritian brains and talents are [...]
I’ve seen around the web that quite a lot of Mauritian HSC students are frustrated about this “leakage” problem. Most of them are getting into huge discussions concerning this issue and how this will be solved. However none has had a real space for expression. This post is therefore open for any one of you [...]
The cat was out of the box. The Mauritian government will be approaching Facebook to ask for temporary country filtering during exams period or might even try to ban Facebook from Mauritian networks. How did this happen? The most important exams in Mauritius are the HSC (Higher School Certificate-evaluating the end of high school studies) [...]
Great analysis of one of the new trends in the web design world by Gopal at Productive Dreams: the “Price Tag”. Really cool insight of what is going on in web designing. Love the twitter bird at the bottom of Gopal’s site!
The Web 2.0 Summit is now over. We will not get back into the stale debate of “what is Web 2.0″. One thing for sure is the implication of new media and social media in the web world and especially the way information is driven into these media. This is where the summit reached a [...]
