Plain English explanations of jargon

This glossary has over 60 easy to read and understand entries.

It will help you understand many of the terms that you encounter as you learn about the web in general, and web content and website planning in particular.

Use it as a stand-alone reference resource, or as a companion to information in the website lifecycle, articles and quizzes.

In contrast to the brief entries that you see on most web glossaries, the descriptions here are comprehensive and include frequent cross-references.
