Website vocabularies

Website vocabularies

I received a paper which was written some words concerning websites in Digital Art class.

 

there were difficult words to me among those, so I tried to find those with my partner Moohyun.

 

• BROWSER : A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for retrieving, presenting and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI/URL) and may be a web page, image, video or other piece of content.

• FLASH : Flash, a popular authoring software developed by Macromedia, is used to create vector graphics-based animation programs with full-screen navigation interfaces, graphic illustrations, and simple interactivity in an antialiased, resizable file format that is small enough to stream across a normal modem connection.

• FOOTER : common text that appears at the bottom of every page. It usually contains the page number.

• STRETCH : It was IBM's first attempt at building transistorized computers and was designed to "stretch" the speed of its current vacuum tube models by a factor of 100.

• TYPEFACE : The design of a set of printed characters, such as Courier, Helvetica and Times Roman. The terms "typeface" and "font" are used interchangeably, but the typeface is the primary design, while the font is the particular implementation and variation of the typeface, such as bold or italic (or none; the normal, upright style).

• UX(USABILITY) : Usability is how easy hardware or software is to operate, especially for the first-time user. Considering how difficult applications and websites can be to navigate through, one would wish that all designers took usability into greater consideration than they do.

• Web architecture : an approach to the design and planning of websites that involves technical, aesthetic and functional criteria. (=structure)

• HTML : The standard markup language for creating web pages and web applications.

 

 

• Interface elements : elements used to offer a consistent visual language to represent information stored in computers.

 

• Plug-ins : a plug-in module or plug-in software

 

• Resolution : the density of dots that make up the image when printing.

 

• Web Hosting :
  the activity or business of providing storage space and access for websites.
   
   

• Wireframes : a skeletal three-dimensional model in which only lines and vertices are represented.
