Making of Damco Website…


Q: How do you view your opportunity to be a part of a team tirelessly dedicated in uplifting the brand image of Damco through the 
     website renovation exercise?
It was indeed a tough job to accomplish.

A website in a way is a brand ambassador of an organization. Toying with the idea to uplift the image of our organization kept the whole team on their toes which indeed brought with it myriad challenges to face and several battles to win . It included stretching for long hours, from designing to conceptualization, from technical support to development and from content management to visualization.

The whole exercise was a turning point in our course of life.It gave us the opportunity to come closer as a strong team, strategize the tight timelines, synchronize the theme and the list goes on...

We would always cherish this moment .

Q: Describe the role of each and every member of this team.
The team comprised of seven members. Every person with their unique capabilities & unwavering vision marched towards the makeover of the website which was
under the guidance of the strong & successful leader,the MD,Dimple Gupta.

As we know “Content is the King” when organizing or building a website .The content management for the whole website was taken care by Munia Mukherjee.
She took control of the various sections by managing the content as distinct from the design. She organized the text in such a manner so as to provide the reader (browser) with an overall "customer experience" that is easy to use,easy to navigate,fulfill the role expected, that is, to sell to customers, or to market products and services, or to inform customers.

The aesthetic of the design is an important factor in the success of a website and online business. Graphic design played the key role for the best presentations on the web. This important role was played by Snigdhajyoti Paul & Amit Bhatia. Their design allowed us to
communicate ideas effectively by organizing them in a fashion that was easily understood by the intended audience.

Our web designers were Jayesh Nair, Shashi Kapoor Singh & Abhinav Thakur. They took control of "look and feel" of the website, using website coding / markup languages ( HTML, Jquery & JavaScript). They were the ones who resolved the concerns / issues related to the website , such as multiple browser-support, support for those with minor accessibility issues and more.

Sonal Bhagria, being a trainee, had the privilege to explore and learn different facets of working in a team. She has come out with flying colors during the whole exercise.

And the toughest part, organizing the team members while unearthing the hidden talent within them, for which the credit goes to none other than our favorite Dimple mam, who taught us teamwork, passion & creativity that drives success.

Q: How do you credit the role of your team leader in helping you all take the quantum leap?
Our team leader, Ms Dimple Gupta, personifies the true spirit of a leader who would stand by her team in all highs and lows uplift them and leap ahead.
The growth under the tutelage of our leader was indeed phenomenal.
Q: Describe your feeling on the successful launch of the website.
Our website was launched in the early morning at 4 am on the occasion of 64th Independence Day.The undying spirit of our patriots gave us the legacy of working and struggling against all odds to always live up to our commitments.
