On June 13, 2013, web developer Pratik Sanghavi published 100 individual websites for the villages of Kalavad Taluka in a record time of 4 hours using the Weebly platform. This achievement, accomplished using limited 2G connectivity on a Pentium 4 system, is officially recognized by the India Book of Records for "Most Websites Published in Minimum Time".{{cite web |title=Most Websites Published in Minimum Time |url=https://indiabookofrecords.in/most-websites-published-in-minimum-time/ |publisher=India Book of Records |accessdate=27 February 2025}}
