Unpacking the Magic: Web Design Tech for Your Small Biz in Plain English

 Let’s make sense of the tech-jargon

Okay, so you’re probably hearing buzzwords flying around like “Responsive Design” or “Progressive Web Apps”. It’s like everyone’s speaking another language, right? Let’s make sense of this tech jargon and chat about what actually matters for your growing business.

1. Responsive Web Design (RWD)

Imagine visiting a shop where everything rearranges itself to fit perfectly whether you’re walking in through a grand entrance or a side door. That’s RWD for websites. Your customers get a great view, whether they’re on their mobile, tablet, or desktop.

2. WebAssembly (Wasm)

It’s a bit like upgrading your car’s engine. Suddenly, you go from trudging along country lanes to breezing down the motorway. With WebAssembly, your website just… zips!

3. Content Management Systems (CMS)

Have you ever wished updating your site was as easy as writing an email? Enter CMS platforms like WordPress. Edit, add, remove – no tech degree required!

4. Progressive Web Apps (PWA)

Imagine a world where your website feels like an app. Fancy, right? PWAs make your site snappy, and accessible offline, and no app stores are needed. It’s like magic but real!

5. Single Page Applications (SPA)

You know how some apps feel so smooth that you don’t even realise you’re moving between sections? That’s the SPA charm!

6. CSS Grid & Flexbox

Let’s say you’re arranging furniture in your living room. These tools are like having an interior designer in your pocket, ensuring everything looks chic and functions perfectly, regardless of the room’s shape.

7. API-First Design

Think of this as the universal remote of website design. One tool, but it makes sure everything works consistently, be it your TV, sound system, or gaming console!
