In 'frog-speak', roughly translated from a series of croaks, it means 'we hope you remember us whenever you see a frog or think of a frog. It's a bit of a catch phrase aimed at making us memorable.'Sure it's a bit off the wall.. but it does work! Croak croak!! Rebbit rebbit! Does your business have something memorable about its name or what it does? It may well give you an edge. If you don't have one, try and think of one!

At Slick we can talk in jargon but we prefer the client to understand what is going on. So here is a list of things simply explained for you.

Search Engines

Google and Bing are just 2 examples of a Search Engine. Search Engines look at billions of web pages and then try to serve up results that match your search Keywords. Search engines are very clever and the way they work changes all the time. Website SEO keeps up with trends and monitors your websites performance.

Keywords

This is simply what you type into the search bar.

For example:- Website Design. This will show results on a global basis for website design businesses. Website design Cyprus will show website design Companies in Cyprus or who can help you in Cyprus. Website design Larnaca will display (or should) results for website design companies in Larnaca. The simple rule is to try and define the keywords and phrases that people will use to find YOUR website. 
Flash and flash elements

This is animation of pictures and text. A flash element is a single piece of flash inserted into a web page. A complete website can be created in Flash. However, if you want a website to work, AVOID Flash websites. Search Engines cannot read Flash and usually present only a single page however complex the website is. 

HTML

HTML (hyper text markup language) is a way of writing a web page so it displays in a certain way. Your website decyphers this to display a page on your screen. 

CSS

Another form of writing the display characteristics of a webpage. CSS enable you to write how a single item or a whole collection of items show on a page, from individual pictures, fonts etc etc. 

E-Commerce websites

An online shop that forms part of your website and allows you to take money in exchange for products or services. These can be fairly simple affairs or very complex so costs will be from a few hundred € to €1000s depending on your requirements. 

So, there are a few terms that we use in website design simply explained. We meet many people who know nothing about computers or the internet. Our aim is to help people understand. If you deal with us, if we do talk jargon, please ask us to explain if you do not understand.
