Webupvan… showcase of the best designed Indian Web 2.0 sites
Webupvan is a web gallery for the best designed Indian websites. Built on the line of the international design watering holes like CssGalleries, CssVault, CssElite, CssHeaven etc, WebUpvan aims to showcase and promote websites that can serve as an example to other Indian web developers. In a country that can safely be described as “design challenged“, surely this is a laudable effort. Webupvan is the initiative of Amit Mandaliya, a web designer and flash developer.
You can use this form to get your website featured on Webupvan. The requirements are fairly simple - it has to be built by Indian web developers, it must be CSS (xhtml/css based table-less layout) or Flash based and if its an application, it has to be Web 2.0 (thats subjective though). And oh yes! - it must measure up to Amit’s exacting standards for design aesthetics and efficacy.
The gallery is categorized into these sections - Application, CSS, Flash, Art, Blog, Bollywood, Business, NGO, NRI, Portfolio, Resources & Web Design Company.
Webupvan is not necessarily meant to be a money spinner, though it has some slots for google text/banner ads.
Whats missing from Webupvan is a voting mechanism for the gallery exhibits, so as to surface the most popular ones.

This is really great work done by this guy, we are based at ahmedabad and looking for this type of professional, we surely discussed our further projects.
Thanks.

Heartening to see some good looking Indian websites.

Good work! But the favicon is very reminiscent of Wikipedia’s!

Appreciate the idea but honestly think WebUpvan itself severely lacks in visual design compared to its international counterparts (and of course, a decent logo)
