Webpage design and programming language

Here are some of the common computing definitions:

  • Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user's computer or mobile device when they visit a website. They are designed to hold a small amount of data that can be retrieved by the website or a third-party server (Park, 2000).
  •  User interface (UI) refers to the visual, interactive, and functional elements of a software application, website, or other digital product that enable users to interact with it. A well-designed UI should be intuitive and easy to use, enabling users to navigate the product and perform tasks with minimal effort and without confusion (Kay, 1990).
  • Page source refers to the underlying code of a web page, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It can be viewed by users to inspect and modify the code of a web page, and is interpreted by web browsers to display the content of a website (Conesa-Fuentes, et. al., 2013).
  • Meta tags are snippets of code that provide information about a web page, but are not displayed on the page itself. They are used by search engines and other applications to understand the content and purpose of a web page, and can help improve the visibility and relevance of the page in search results (Alimohammadi, 2005).
  • jQuery is a JavaScript library that simplifies the process of writing client-side HTML and CSS manipulation. It provides a range of pre-written functions and methods that can be easily incorporated into web development projects to enhance interactivity and functionality(Chaffer, 2013).
  • A hyperlink is a clickable link that connects one web page to another, or to another location within the same page. It is typically displayed as a highlighted or underlined word or phrase that, when clicked, takes the user to the linked location(Henzinger, 2001).
  • HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a markup language used for creating and structuring content on the web. It consists of a series of tags and elements that define the structure, layout, and functionality of web pages (Raggett et. al., 1999)
  • CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation and visual styling of web pages. It allows developers to separate the presentation of a web page from its structure and content, and provides a range of tools and techniques for creating visually appealing and responsive designs (Nixon, 2014).
  • JavaScript is a high-level programming language used for creating interactive and dynamic web content. It can be used to create animations, modify the content of web pages in real-time, and add interactivity to user interfaces (Nixon, 2014).
  • Python is a high-level programming language that is popular for its simplicity, versatility, and readability. It can be used for a wide range of applications, including web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and more (Python, 2021)
  • Ruby is a dynamic, high-level programming language known for its simplicity and productivity. It is particularly popular for web development, but can also be used for a wide range of other applications, including desktop software and automation (Thomas et.al., 2004)

About Pages research of ASOS and Pact.

As I plan a fashion website that focuses on environmental impact and ethical business practices I took a closer look at about pages of two sites with similar values. The first one is ASOS, a UK-based online fashion and beauty retailer that aims to empower 20-somethings to look and feel their best while promoting diversity, inclusion, and sustainability. They have a dedicated page called "Fashion with Integrity" that provides more detailed information on their sustainability and ethical practices. The second company is Pact, a US-based online retailer that specializes in sustainable and ethically made clothing. They use only organic cotton and other sustainable materials, as well as fair labor practices, and have various certifications like GOTS and Fair Trade. Pact's brand story emphasizes their goal of creating a more sustainable and equitable fashion industry.
