Frequently asked questions about websites
- What is web design?
- Web design dictates how content within a webpage is displayed, not just on your computer screen but also for print and mobile devices.
- What is web development?
- Web development describes a range of activities which provide features such as ecommerce websites and content management systems. Web development can also include managing the computers that store websites ('servers'). There are many programming languages that are used in developing for the web, including PHP, Ruby (on Rails), Coldfusion and ASP.NET.
- What is search engine marketing?
- Search engine marketing is a number of complementary services that can increase your website's ability to generate sales for your business. It can include pay per click to help manage advertisements for your business on search engines such as Google as well as SEO.
- What is search engine optimisation (SE0)?
-
Search engine optimisation is used in search engine-marketing in an attempt to increase your website's reputation and improve its ranking within search engines. Search engine optimisation can be targetted to generate sales for people searching in your local area - for example, 'Newcastle web designers' - to customers from around the world. - What is open source software?
- Open source software is software that anyone can see the code for (i.e., the source code of the program is 'open' for all to see), and contribute to. This generally means that bugs can be spotted more easily than in commercial software, improving the quality of the software. Peacock Carter have experience in a number of open source software products, including Magento Commerce, Drupal and MediaWiki, the software that powers Wikipedia.
