Header
A website’s header is the section located at the top of every page on a website. This appears directly above the main body content, and is used to promote your brand and make your site instantly recognizable. Website headers usually include the company logo & name, menu navigation (links to product/service pages and contact information), and search and cart icons.
Herbert’s Yard
‘Who’s Herbert?’ we hear you ask. No, it isn’t one of our team members – but rather the street food venue over the road from us in Longbridge. With an indoor and outdoor space, Herbert’s Yard hosts 6-8 independent food vendors every weekend, and also offers space for special events. Most Fridays you will find us eating a Herbert’s Yard lunch – and Anthony and Alison have even been known to venture there on both Saturdays and Sundays too!

HTML
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language – and is the building blocks of a website. HTML is a language that is used to create a structure for web content and pages, to display in a web browser. HTML elements have a start and end tag, with content in the middle, for example:
<h2>This is a heading two</h2>.
HTTP
HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol, and is the foundation of any data exchange on the Web. Searching the internet uses communication between web clients (e.g. computers) and servers – and this is done by sending HTTP requests and receiving HTTP responses.
HTTPS
Similarly, HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, which appears when a website has an SSL certificate. This means that secure communication and encryption is used – helping to keep customer data safe.
