Accessibility in the context of a Web site is the degree to which that Web site is usable by people with disabilities. Web pages often have access issues for the following groups of people:
One thing that some web designers seem to overlook is making a web site accessible. Sometimes the design doesn't allow to implement accessible options yet it is important for a site to be "seen" by everyone, either in a descriptive base or a text only site. This practice should also be taken into consideration when sending marketing emails in html format.
This tag names the Java applet that your browser should download and execute. A java applet is a program the is included in a web page which gets executed at a pre specified time. When you use a Java technology-enabled browser to view a page that contains an applet, the applet's code is transferred to your system and executed by the browser's Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It is important to know that although the biggest percentage of web browsers support java in some way NOT ALL web browsers are compatible with this technology.
The fold in Web design is the position on a Web page where the majority of browsers viewing the page will begin to scroll. Elements that are positioned "below the fold" are not seen when the page first loads. And some people believe that it's important to design Web pages that don't scroll, or that keep only less important information below the fold. Inevitably, some web site designs call for long pages (i.e. this page) where down is the only way to go. Yet when you get to the specific web page design of a product or service it is best practice to keep it short and visible.
Blog is short for Weblog and is a Web page that has short, frequent updates made to it. Similar to a Web journal or "what's new" page.
Computer/ Handheld/ Mobile Phone program to view and interact with Internet Web pages. The program you are using to view this web page is a web browser.

It is important to note that not all browsers view and interact with web pages in the same way and cross-browser compatibility is an important aspect of the web design process.
A simple mechanism for adding style (e.g. fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents. The html language (the language used to build web pages) is made up of tags. If you look at this page, the words that we are defining are larger, bolder than the other text, that's because we are using a heading tag <h1> to mark the word as important. Your web browser shows it as big text. We can use CSS to format all <h1> tags and style them with a different font, color size, border, etc.
A tool for managing and editing a web site's content. Sites that have a way of getting updated by the end-user are managed by a CMS also the administration area of a shopping cart could be considered a CMS.
DNS stands for Domain Name Service. Web pages and web sites are stored in computers connected to the internet (web hosts), these computers have an internet address called IP. If you had to give everyone your web address based on your server's IP it would look something like http://4.2.5.1/~mywebsite instead of a domain name like mywebsite.com. DNS is the TCP/IP stack that converts IP addresses into domain names. If you purchase a domain name, DNS servers are given the IP address of your Web server and the corresponding domain name. Then, when someone comes to your domain by typing mywebsite.com, the DNS server translates that to an IP so it knows where to send the visitor.
Hexadecimal numbers or "hex" numbers are a base-16 numbering system used to define colors on Web pages. A hex number is written from 0-9 and then A-F.
Web colors are written as three sets of hex pairs. The first set represents the red hue, the second the green hue, and the third the blue (RGB). White is written as #ffffff (ff ff ff)while black is #000000 (00 00 00). Your computer monitor show colors as a combination of red, green and blue so we use hex to tell your monitor the color it should display.

The number or percentage of visitors who convert casual content views or website visits into desired actions based on subtle or direct requests from marketers, advertisers, and content creators.
Successful conversions are interpreted differently by individual marketers, advertisers, and content creators. To online retailers, for example, a successful conversion may constitute the sale of a product to a consumer whose interest in the item was initially sparked by clicking a banner advertisement. To content creators, however, a successful conversion may refer to a membership registration, newsletter subscription, software download, or other activity that occurs due to a subtle or direct request from the content creator for the visitor to take the action.
Most search engines offer two types of search results to their customers: paid results (typically at the top or on the side) and organic or natural results. While paid results can get your Web site to rank higher for a specific keyword phrase (because you've paid to be high in the results), most customers consider these results to be little better than advertising, and will often skip over them in favor of the natural or organic search results.
An organic search is a search that generates results that were not paid advertisements. Many customers feel that these results are a more accurate reflection of what they might want when searching for a specific phrase, because they are generated by popularity and common usage.
When we do SEO or search engine optimization we are attempting to adjust the content of your Web pages to rank well in the organic search results.
A search engine results page, or SERP, is the listing of web pages returned by a search engine in response to a keyword query.
Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center.
