It may help if you read “traffic” first, but very simply, bandwidth relates to
how much a resource is used. An analogy would be a freeway. The wider the freeway, the
more traffic (users) it can handle. The narrower it is, the less people can use it at once
(without problems).
When a website gets a lot of visitors, it will use a lot of bandwidth.

When you send an email to someone and it comes straight back to you with an
error message, it is said to have bounced. It’s like the internet version of “return to sender”
except it is a computer or piece of software automatically sending it back to you, not a
person. Emails can bounce for many reasons. The most common are: you made a spelling
or typing error in the address, making the address invalid; the person you are sending to

no longer has that email address; the person you are sending to has let their mailbox

Specific text, image, banner or button that uses persuasive,
action-oriented words that urges a visitor on a website to act. CTAs are designed to move
a visitor from one page to the next and persuade them to take an expected, predetermined
action. (e.g. Download a Whitepaper, Register for a Webinar, Contact Us, Learn More,
etc.).

Nothing that you see on the internet is what it appears to be. Everything is coded in
one way or another to achieve the exact look, layout and functions. There are different
types of code and coding languages that are used to develop websites as well as all
computer programs and software.

Also known as a CMS, the content management
system is a back-end tool for managing a site’s content that separates the content from
the design and functionality of the website. Using a cms can make it easier to change the
design of a site independent of the site’s content or pages.
A content management system can also make it easier for pages and images to be added
to the website for people who aren’t programmers, saving on the cost of hiring a
programmer because you can add/edit/delete content yourself

A small piece of information that certain websites store on your computer when
you visit them. Cookies are normally harmless and the reasons for using them vary.
Sometimes it is to make sure that their website loads quickly when you next visit, by
drawing the saved information from your own computer rather than from the website itself.
Another use is to track visitors to see how often they come, what they do when they come
and other information to help with marketing. Cookies are also used to track visits from
other websites, especially when the site you are visiting is paying the other site for
advertising space or needs to pay a referral fee to the originating website. A cookie can
also be used to check when you last visited and, if any changes since then, to force your
browser to refresh so that you see the latest information. The downside of cookies is that
after you have visited a lot of sites with a lot of graphics, your computer will begin to get
bogged down with all of this in its memory. It’s therefore a good idea to regularly clear the
cookies from your computer.

: With a normal static website, the information that you see is on the
page itself. It does not change unless someone manually edits the page. On a database
driven website, the information is not stored on the page, but in a database. Every time
someone visits a particular page, the information is drawn from the database in order to
display it on the page. Information can therefore be easily cross-referenced and the same
information applied in many different ways, using formulas and different variables.

Type that is designed with the objective of attracting attention. Think of
movie titles on posters, article titles in magazines, newspaper headlines, etc

A drop-down can be one of two elements: A drop-down menu is a
navigational menu that has sub-menus or categories below it. When clicked on, the sub
menus “drop down” and are then visible to the user. A drop-down field is found within a
form on a website. It acts similar to a drop-down menu, but it requires the user to choose
an option from multiple choices.

A flyout navigation menu contains multiple links to different pages
and/or categories on a website. It’s typically contains multiple columns, whereas a dropdown menu may only display one column below the main tab.

The fold is a term carried over from newspaper design and pagination (where the
fold referred to the physical fold in the paper). The fold in a website is the point on the web
page that rests at the bottom of someone’s browser (in other words, to see anything below
the fold, they would have to scroll down). There are varying opinions on how important the
fold is in web design but more websites including Yahoo and msn are increasing their page
length to get more information displayed on each page.
