Complete Asia: Asian Stock Photos

Complete Technology Solution recently launches a new online stock photos web site. This website is named CompleteAsia.com: Asian Stock Photos. CTS has been dealing with lots of designing and printing of retail packaging and posters/banners/bunting for commercial industries. Most of the packaging designs not only focus on abstract art and illustration. Some requires product photoshooting and models to promote the products that they want to sell. At CTS, we have engaged and partnered with some group of professional photographers that does this and more.

Just over a year, we have shot more than a thousand photos and images of products and a handful of models for advertising and product related purposes. With the thousands of photos not in use, we gathered the photos with the photographers' consent and guidance. We eventually set up an online web site and decided to cater to other companies that will require these photos for their retail and website beautification.



The website name: CompleteAsia.com. We want to focus on Asian culture and provide photos with asian taste for companies and local websites that require the photos. At the same time we also want to promote Malaysian photographers (professionals and enthusiasts). We currently have engage with a local University to help the students' creativity in photography and for them to earn extra income selling photos.

For those who are interested to join us as photographers at completeasia.com can do so as well. Just email three(3) photographs that you have and want to sell them to sales@completeasia.com. We have a panel of photographers to view if your photos are good. We will then send you a photographer's registration form to fill in and proceed with the sign-up.

Steps to be CompleteAsia.com's photographer member:
1. Email three(3) photographs to sales@completeasia.com
2. Make sure the photos are "save as". Do Not use "Save as web".
3. I should be able to see the photo's EXIF data
4. The photos should not be more than 3MB.
5. You can zip the photos.
6. Provide your Full Name | IC | Contact Number | Email.

Once approved, we will provide you with an agreement contract which we are abide with the Photography Law. Photos with people will require a Model release form that is to be signed by the model him/her-self.

Apart from being an Asian Stock Photos online store, we also provide services to whoever is keen on hiring the photographers for other services such as wedding, product shoot, modelling, studio rental, etc.

CTSolution Toolbar for Internet Browsers

One of the good ways to advertise and brand our logo is to have something sticky! Yes, in order to get people's attention and remind people of our brand, we either need to advertise or implant and remind people of our brand and use it often. Eventually that something which we have reminded and have a place in people's mind will only then be branded / advertised thoroughly.

In Complete Technology Solution, we provide ICT solutions and services. Its pretty hard to compete with big corporate companies that are known internationally. Such as Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, Canon, etc. Frankly, we cannot compete with the big shots. But we still find some companies which we are very much grateful of doing business with us (Thank you all!). We have diverted from retailing computers and hardware/software sales to providing network integration solution and computer services such as maintenance and rental of computer hardware and appliances.

For these type of branding, we enforce on our rented out PCs installed with our CTS logo stickers and CTS Desktop wallpapers. We also added in our very own Customized Complete Technology Solution Toolbar onto the Internet Browsers.

Here is the website link: http://ctsolution.ourtoolbar.com and a screen shot of the landing page.

2009 Hari Raya Cards for Sale/Order

Hari Raya festive celebration is approaching soon. For those that do not know what is Hari Raya, according to the free encyclopedia - wikipedia; "Hari Raya Aidilfitri (also seen as Hari Raya Idul Fitri and Hari Raya Puasa, literally "Celebration Day of Fasting") is the Malay term for the Muslim festival of Eid ul-Fitr. Hari Raya is also known as Lebaran. Muslims in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore celebrate Eid like other Muslims throughout the world. The term "Hari Raya" literally means "Day of Celebration" — it is also occasionally used to refer to Eid ul-Adha in the form of "Hari Raya Aidiladha". The main greeting used by Muslims in Malaysia and Singapore is "Selamat Hari Raya" which means "Happy Eid" in Malay. Another greeting is "maaf zahir dan batin" which translates loosely to "I seek forgiveness (from you) physically and spiritually", for Hari Raya is a time to reconcile and renew relationships with others." For more detail information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hari_Raya_Aidilfitri

Every year over here in Complete Technology Solution, we come out with our own Hari Raya Cards design for anyone that wants to send greeting cards to their business partners, affiliates, customers, family and friends.

Joomla! Backend Administrator security

I'd like to give a very good comment and recommendation to all joomla users out there that have used/develop/starting to explore/hosting joomla.

I recently found this very ingenious plug-in extension in Joomla Extension site that enables joomla sites to hide their administrator's path. It should be pre-included together with the joomla installation files. Its called jSecure Authentication. 6 star ratings go to the developer/developers that created this site security. You can take a look at the introduction at Joomla Extension site or you can visit the developers' site at http://www.joomlaserviceprovider.com. What's more? Its FREE to download and use.

Just think. Sometimes its so noticeable to know if the website is joomla made or not. And knowing that it is, its very easy to know the access to the administrator area. Have been known that hackers can easily penetrate the administrator site. Feeling unsafe already? Don't want to use joomla anymore? So what now?


Introducing jSecure Authentication - Joomla! Extension plugin.

Its very easy to install and just enable the plugin. You can also customize your 404 error page or re-direct it to your front site.

All the instruction and guidelines are given and very easy to understand. The only draw back I see is that if you have forgotten the security path; well.. that's the end of it.. just re-install a new joomla installation.

My salute and credits to you! jSecure Authentication (Joomla extension).

Free Lifetime Advertisement via Internet

I'm not talking about Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Even though I can provide you with that service. After all, its a service. So, its not entirely a free lifetime advertising option for you.

So, what am I stating here? Its your website.

Do you have a website? What is a website?
[A website (or web site) is a collection of related web pages, images, videos or other digital assets that are addressed with a common domain name or IP address in an Internet Protocol-based network. A web site is hosted on at least one web server, accessible via the Internet or a private local area network.

A web page is a document, typically written in plain text interspersed with formatting instructions of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML, XHTML). A web page may incorporate elements from other web sites with suitable markup anchors.

Web pages are accessed and transported with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which may optionally employ encryption (HTTP Secure, HTTPS) to provide security and privacy for the user of the web page content. The user's application, often a web browser, renders the page content according to its HTML markup instructions onto a display terminal.

All publicly accessible web sites collectively constitute the World Wide Web.
The pages of a web site can usually be accessed from a simple Uniform Resource Locator (URL) called the homepage. The URLs of the pages organize them into a hierarchy, although hyperlinking between them conveys the reader's perceived site structure and guides the reader's navigation of the site.] (source: Wikipedia)

With all that jargon explanation of what a website is, in simple its actually an advertising tool on the internet.

The internet has grown a lot these few years and its one of the most powerful information tool in the world. Now, hosting your website is just a per-year renewal basis. Domains included. So long as you pay your hosting and domain yearly, the website is yours.

So, what am I saying here? Your website is actually the best way to sell your products, services, company to anyone and everyone. Its the cheapest advertising tool compared to TV, Radio, leaflets, banner, exhibiting booth/events, posters, etc.

So, if I have a website. So one would eventually find my website and know my company and know what my company does and sells.

Now with popular and dominating search engines like Yahoo, Google, MSN to name a few over more than thousands of search engines. It helps us in our daily lives to search for information, information and more information. So, we know from the Wikipedia definition of website; the collective constitutes the World Wide Web.

We just need to "park" our websites in these popular search engines so that people can search for our website. So, that's where Google Adwords, SEO, Yahoo Search Engine, Search Listings..etc comes in. But we still need to pay for something to have our websites advertise in the search engine.

But we shouldn't think that; that's the only way for our website to be advertised. One of the most effective and gets people to remember your website is actually human touch.

How? Word-of-mouth is the most ancient methods used to advertise your products, services, company. Not only website plays an important role here. Email is very important. It actually advertise your website. How so? If I just pass on my email as justin@ctsolution.com.my. You can actually surf to my website using the email address as ctsolution.com.my.

So, if you don't have a website now.. its a good time to get started out.
