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.
