Cart
Similar to Basket, a cart is a feature on a website that allows users to add products that they want to buy, and see the total cost of these products plus shipping and payment options.
Category
Categories appear on websites and blogs to group pages/posts together based on a similar subject or theme. Categories also give structure to a website’s content and help it to be discoverable by users and search engines alike.
Checkout
The checkout page on a website is where the basket/cart takes the user to complete their purchase. Users will need to input their shipping details and will complete the payment process.
Chrome
Google Chrome is a free web browser that was released in 2008 that you can use to browse the internet. It is free, fast and secure and can be used on various devices including desktop computers, tablets and smartphones. Chrome allows you to have a personalised experience by using Chrome Extensions, that allow you to change your browser functionality.
Class
A class is an attribute in website design coding that allows you to apply unique style properties to groups of HTML elements. This allows you to achieve your desired web page appearance, such as having a heading in a particular font size and colour, or a specific layout for buttons.
CLI
Command Line Interface or CLI, processes commands to a computer program in the form of lines of text, used to view and manage computer files.
Click-Through-Rate (CTR)
Clicks are important as they represent an interested visitor. CTR is the number of clicks that you receive divided by the number of times your ad is shown, and measures the percentage of impressions that resulted in a click. It is used to measure the success of your online advertising campaigns, such as how well your keywords and ads are doing, and can also be used in email marketing and social marketing too. The higher your CTA, the better the campaign. A good CTR is relative to your industry, keywords you’re using, and campaigns within your account.
Clicks ÷ impressions = CTR
Cloud
The cloud, or cloud computing, is the on-demand availability of computer system resources that do not require direct management from the user. Users can use the internet to access their resources such as applications and servers.
CMS
Content Management System, or CMS, refers to software used to manage the creation and improvements of digital content, such as a website. A CMS is available in a user-friendly interface, meaning that many users are able to access and edit content easily and quickly. WordPress is by far the most popular CMS available, W3Techs reports that 43% of all websites globally use it to power their content.
Code
Code consists of words, letters, figures and symbols that make up rules and instructions to make things happen on your computer. Code communicates what you want to happen and how things should appear on a web page.
Colour Theory
Colour theory is the collection of guidelines and concepts used to communicate with colour, based on the colour wheel and its geometry. It helps designers choose the best colour to use in their work. It is based on extensive research about human optical ability, psychology, culture and more, and how colours mix, match and contrast. It is often referred to as the science and art of using colour.
