Website Terminology

Content: This is geek speak for anything that exists within a website such as images, videos and text (also known as the meat of a website) 

Homepage: The first thing everyone sees when they arrive at a website, it is truly the “home” of a website

Featured Image: A lengthier way to say main photo or image that is placed on a website in a predominant position for example, a home page 

Menu: No, you do not order food from this. A menu in geek speak is how users navigate organized information on a website 

Navigate: While this is a familiar word to most, in geek land this word means you are moving from one page, section or view to another within a website  

Drop-down Menu: This is where geeks get fancy; this is a list of items that is hidden until you click on it and then allows for the user to navigate the website or fill out portions of a form  

Widget: A fun computing word used for tools or content that are grouped together and can be moved or arranged on a website as desired 

Sidebar: Not to be confused with what lawyers do in courtroom dramas, this word in computing land means images, text or videos that are on the left or right side of a website 

Footer: A bit like it sounds in the sense that feet are usually at the bottom of something, this use of footer means content or images that are on the bottom of a website (the feet of computing land!)  

Button: A bit like those real life buttons we all push to make something go.. this is a virtual version of a box that is created to allow someone to click on it and execute an action 

Full-Width and Panel Page Templates: Okay, lets be honest these terms are quite a mouth full but their definition is much easier; these are terms used to describe how a website’s homepage content and images will be displayed

Post Slider: These are not virtual versions of tiny hamburgers, instead is a term for a quick view into a post by showing the title, a  photo, or short description of the post on a homepage with a button that navigates someone directly to that post 

Sticky Post: A geek for a virtual post it note! This term means that a post can be selected to remain at the top of a website homepage until another sticky post is selected to take its place
