Restructure Your Website for Mobile’s Small Screen with ASP.NET

The technology used in the mobile phone is changing with every blink of the eye. It is even ahead from the technology used in desktop or web. Nevertheless, there are important tools that hold an upper hand in constructing the websites made for desktop or built to be viewed on desktop (big screen) to be viewed on small screen i.e. mobile phone platform. Those businessmen, who have prepared their websites for the big screen users are now puzzled as what will happen to their existing website. They are actually searching for ways to change or convert their existing website into a mobile platform. Well, just to relax them from the worries, there are ASP.NET developers, who can actually manage to change or redesign the big screen website into a mobile’s small screen, by using important platforms or frameworks.

            The platform used to create standard based web apps is ASP.NET MVC; it utilises the well-defined structure and potential of the .NET technology. This is the platform, which enables the desktop websites to drift towards mobile phone. Since ASP.NET MVC is an open source web application framework, the ASP.NET specialists can make copies of the pages of the site and add in few strings to the new copied pages. Then, if anybody tries to open the site from a mobile phone, the pages with new strings will open.

            Interestingly, software engineers believe that the controller being utilised in the desktop or big screen can be used in mobile phone or small screens with little alterations. In-fact, the architecture of the mobile phone sites is similar to the sites designed for desktop. Just consider that if someone has to reshuffle the mobile phone screen site to the desktop site, then also the similar architecture will work perfectly. Therefore, it is easier for the developers, as they just have to build one programme for both the screen sizes.


            Nonetheless, all this exercise is as such not applicable to the active websites. For sure, it is just the thing for new ones. The above mentioned technology can be compatible with ASP.NET MVC and more useful with ASP.NET controls. Subsequently, it becomes very easy to switch between small screen and big screen sizes. In-fact, the companies can hire .NET developers or specialists to develop such kind of website for them. Basically, hiring a dedicated .NET team for a project is much better than just hiring a .NET freelancer. So, think of multipurpose website to expand your reach in every sphere.

ASP.NET and PHP: Angles Explored

At this point in time, if we observe in the virtual world of programming, the top notch competitors are ASP.NET and PHP. Both have their own set of high and low qualities, also the advantages and disadvantages of using them for a specific kind of task. As such both are used for web development and the only confusion in choosing one is the kind of out-put an organization wants in their website or web application.

Developed by Microsoft, ASP.NET is a server based framework which gives perfect point of intersection with other languages, like - VB.NET, JScripts, C#, etc. The ASP.Net basically endorses platforms such as - Web-Forms and MVC (Model-View-Controller) model, while PHP is a programming language developed by PHP Group. It is available for free as it an open source and can be utilized in other framework such as - Zend, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, etc.



As far as the functioning is concerned, PHP is better than ASP.NET, but there are many other sites or web applications which say that ASP.NET is better than PHP. Basically, ASP.NET is a compiled language type whereas PHP is an interpreted one. On the whole, the functioning of a web-app relies on its design and execution of a particular. Hence, we can’t say, which one is better than the other. ASP.NET has an elevated conceptual and coding level and so it is easy to develop reusable codes which will save much of the time.

As PHP is an open source, it is free, easily available and commonly many hosting services support PHP as compared to ASP.NET. In the matter of cost, PHP wins over ASP.NET, as the later is more expensive and difficult to maintain than free, open source PHP. Another segment that needs attention is security. Few section of developers support ASP.NET for providing better security in applications as compared to PHP, and at the same time few says the opposite. In this matter, it will be wise to say that it solely relies on the decision of the programmer or developer. But it is suggested to follow and manage the rules for best security of the applications.


Both, PHP and ASP.NET are loved and used by many developers all over the globe. They have proper platforms and possess good future prospects. As both have their strong and weak points, it would be unfair to support any one. It is also necessary to note that, ASP.NET and PHP differ from each other, but can perform similar tasks. Now, it depends on the necessity of the company or organization, which they choose on the basis of cost, performance, security and consistency.
