Google™ announced this week its Chrome App Store, which allows people to package and distribute custom web applications in a central location, much like they would sell iPhone™ or Android™ applications. The new store is currently only available to US users, and requires the use of Google’s free Chrome browser.

Apps can be packaged and distributed through the store in one of two ways.

Hosted Apps: These are normal websites with a bit of extra metadata. You can build and deploy hosted apps exactly as you would build and deploy any web app, using whatever server-side or client-side technologies you like. The only difference is that you must provide a small manifest file that describes the app.
Packaged Apps: If you want your app to work well offline or to be tightly integrated with the Google Chrome browser, you can package your app. A packaged app is just a web app that the user downloads. Packaged apps have the option of using the Google Chrome Extension APIs, allowing packaged apps to change the way Chrome behaves or looks.

The benefit is that this gives developers the ability to easily promote and distribute web applications, while retaining full freedom to use whatever technologies they like. This also means that current web apps can be easily imported into the store and offered for free, or sold, or include in-app payments. In other words, you have a lot of freedom.

Many websites have already taken advantage of this by quickly importing their existing webapps, including Farmville, NYTimes, NPR, Weather Underground, Gilt, and many others. In addition to applications, the Chrome store also allows custom browser plugins and extensions.

Many other commercial outlets currently have web applications (restaurants, clothing companies, sports teams, online gambling, and many others), which could easily be updated to work through the Chrome app store.

As a web application development company, this also adds extra incentive for new companies to create web apps, as now they have external distribution channels as well.

In a related move, Apple® is also planning to launch an app store in early 2011 (possibly even in the last few weeks of 2010). This will give users the ability to download free and paid apps to their Mac, but these will only be stand-alone apps, more similar to how iPhone app development and distribution works.

Details are still a little bit sparse, but these will allow all types of apps and applications to be sold or distributed through the store. This could include desktop versions of smaller apps, or full-fledged applications like Photoshop.

This will help give small app publishers a win by having a direct and independent distribution channel directly to consumers, even if Apple takes a cut of the profit. Of course, big application publishers also benefit by being able to cheaply sell and distribute new software, though the difference may not be as impactful for them.

Initially targeted at Netbooks (incredibly small laptops with relatively low specifications), Google Chrome OS will be a lightweight, open source alternative to Windows. It will be designed primarily for online use, with the entire OS essentially consisting of the Google Chrome browser running on a Linux backend.

The idea being that in the future developers will produce web based applications that could be run from any Internet browser rather than a software package that requires a downloading and installation. This idea makes a great deal of sense in many ways, as you wouldn’t have to worry about software updates, creating backups of your files or transporting files from one machine to another. All information would be stored online so these usual factors would be an issue anymore.

In addition developers would have no need to worry about creating multiple versions of the same application for different Operating Systems because as long as the user’s browser was up to date they could run the software in question without issue. It would not matter whether Google Chrome OS, Mac OS or Windows was running on your computer you would still have access to all your online applications.

The ambition Google holds is that eventually Chrome OS will develop in to something that could be seen as a viable alternative for use on all types of computer, not just Netbooks. Personally, I both love and hate this idea of shaking up the way we use our computers in equal quantities; the possibilities are huge but the disadvantages are potentially crippling and too obvious to ignore.

Firstly and most importantly there is the fact that the whole idea is pretty much reliant on the user having a continuous Internet connection. Nowadays this isn’t a problem for most homes and offices as an ‘always on’ broadband connection has become fairly standard. If however you were to find yourself without an Internet connection for whatever reason then your Operating System would immediately become useless. Whilst mobile broadband has become both faster and more affordable for those who don’t have a fixed Internet connection, it will be of little use on a plane for eight hours!

A potential workaround that springs to mind would be to allow the OS to download web applications and run them as if you were on the Internet. However by doing so, we neglect the purpose of having an online operating system in the first place.

It is also undeniable that at present most Internet applications are a little primitive. They have to be given credit for evolving incredibly quickly in recent years however they’re still a long way off representing a viable alternative to the large, installed applications most of us currently use. In the past I have discussed Internet based software such as Google Docs and in the future I plan to cover advanced online applications such as the drawing application SplashUp but these online versions still lag behind their desktop equivalents in both speed and functionality.

No one knows exactly what the future holds. It is undeniable that in the last couple of years our computing activities have become a lot more oriented around the Internet but whether we are ready for them to be entirely transferred remains to be seen.

It is necessary that the website’s text is the right one for your niche. There are different fonts that you can choose by jut searching online which can be organized by name, artist and style. Just spend time to search for this to make your text appropriate to your niche.

There are websites that do not function well especially in different browsers. Considering that Google Chrome is the fastest growing browser nowadays, there are websites that do not function well in this browser. To make it sure that your website is compatible to any browser, it is necessary to test its compatibility. You just need time to do this but at the end there is a good feedback from your visitors that the website is good and can function properly whatever is the browser used.

There are websites where the color scheme is not attractive. Website colors must be pleasing to the eyes and in accordance with the theme. Too much color makes the website ugly to look. It is more attractive to the eyes of your visitors if you have included in your website a logo color or colors and make it more with style. The overall layout and style can affect most the visitors. Distracting styles make it hard for the visitors to find what they need. By using wordpress.com, you can select themes which are more attractive to the viewers.

It is also essential that the navigation of your website is set up properly. Visitors are not so concerned about whom you are but they are more concerned about what you offer and the corresponding price. Instead of having buttons for “Home” and “About Us” it is better to have buttons for the “Products” as well as the “Pricing.” Moreover, with these buttons, you can attract qualified leads where your focus is more serving rather than selling. In this way, you can easily attract business prospects. Besides, you can encourage business prospects to email, visit or call your website. As website owner, it is not necessary to chase them.

A website which can easily attract visitors must place the call to action in front and in the center, if possible in every page. You have to place your phone number in the header which is visible in every page of your website. To make visitors purchase your products, it is essential to have your call of action open describing your products or services.

The header is the main attraction in your website. This is the main area that visitors wanted to see whenever they visited website. From there, the visitors will have to read the contents from the top down. It is necessary that your company’s logo be placed in the header so that visitors can easily identify your site either through words or pictures.
