my first post

Assalamu Alaykum

This is my first post.

Late Night with Google

Assalaamu 'alaykum,

Yesterday I had my late night with Google, and alhamdulillah was extremely beneficial.

The benefits of it:

1. Get an insight of what is out there on a general level.
2. What is available on the market for the non-Muslims specifically, so you can intelligently copy it in the Muslim market.
3. Gain an insight into what has worked and what has not - so you can use the best to make your project outstanding!
4. Have an overlook of website presentation and get a feel of what is good, excellent and outstanding in terms of website presentation.

...So, for those who haven't done it - I would advise you too as it will take your project to another level inshaAllah.

If anyone wants to see the research I derived - please let me know.

All the best in your projects.

Shukran,
Alima.
