About Devapps
DevApps was formed in 2002 with the goal of giving developers an
Online Directory where they can list and provide access to their
commercial and free server and client side applications.
In the year 2007, our original goal has not changed. We have decided
that it was about time to provide more features to our users.
Development of DevApps
We are planning a structured approach to rebuilding of DevApps. The
initial step is the redevelopment of the site - we
have recreated the site to be a more modular one, employing smarter
development techniques, resulting in a more modular and semantic code
base - this means changes are easier to make, features are easier to
implement and while it seems that only the skin has changed, under a
hood, DevApps is a whole new Online Application Directory.
New Features
With the initial recreation we managed to sneak in some additional
features. We added these in because we sincerely thought that this would
help developers who are serious about their craft get noticed and give
them the opportunity to promote themselves through our site.
Some of the features we are excited about include:
DevBoards Community Forum - Located at http://www.devboards.com/,
We created the DevBoards Community Forum to give our users the facility
to interact with each other - developers and end users alike.
Featured Applications - your application displayed on each and
every page header on the DevApps website. Not only do you get
featured on our site, but your featured application will have special
attributes applied to it making it stand out of the crowd.
Sponsored Applications - Sponsor your application and hold one
of the top positions in your Application's category. This provides an avenue
for serious developers to stand tall above the rest.
Banner Advertising - Banner advertising was
introduced to provide advertisers with the avenue to get their message
across to a targeted DevApps audience.
Site-Wide Application Promotion
The best thing about these new features is that it provides you
with the tools necessary to set up a Site-Wide Application Promotion campaign
spanning from:
- Featured Applications - where your application will be
displayed in the header portion of ALL pages.
- Sponsored Applications - where your listing will be
noticed first while it holds one of the top positions in your applications
category.
- Banner Advertising - your banner gets featured in
premium locations throughout the site.
- DevBoards Community Forums - to give you the
channel for feedback and interaction with your end users and/or other
developers to explore business opportunities.
The Future
All in all, we are elated about the recent surge of momentum and look
forward to the next steps in the development of DevApps where we
shall implement new and exciting features that will be beneficial to our
Developer based Community and end-users alike.

greatest version of our site, please use the contact form located at the
