Web Design Terminologies


Vocabulary for Web Design
Web design often involves overlap between disciplines, so we’ve included vocabulary that deals with branding, composition, color and typography.Web design often involves overlap between disciplines, so we’ve included vocabulary that deals with branding, composition, color and typography.
Knowing how to speak the language of web design will help you ask better questions, communicate more effectively and produce a better final product. You can also notice how these terms are implemented across a wide variety of websites (for better or worse). Because web design is a holistic process, web designers are trained to see the bigger picture and also the details.

Branding Terms
Branding is the communication of an organization’s message, values and experience. Everything from a company’s logo and identifiable design elements to the “gut feeling” people get about an organization driver of the why behind a website. When it comes to web design, you have the opportunity to create experiences that reinforce the company’s brand.

1. Identity: The entire visual representation of your brand, can include logo, color, typography, imagery, voice, etc. Not just a logo.
2. Lettermark/Wordmark/Logotype: A type of logo made with stylized letters (IBM) or words (Coca-Cola)
3. Brandmark: A type of Logo made with a graphical representation (Apple, Target)
4. Icon: A simplified rendering of an object or concept. A logo and an icon are not the same thing.
5. Design System: A repository of reusable digital components that combine to form a website.
6. Brand Guide: A visual and philosophical reference for a brand’s color, personality and voice.
User Experience Terms
User experience encompasses how people interact and engage with a website. User experience influences how we direct users through the site and lead them to specific end goals. It encompasses many elements of design and development including how something looks and works. Make functionality decisions with the end-user in mind, not your own preference or the tools you are using.

7. Persona: Fictional character that represents a primary user of your site/product. Usually, personas are very well-developed because they should represent real people with real motivations.
8. Wireframe: Low-fidelity layout of a site, representation of general block-level content and interactive elements.
9. Mockup: High-fidelity layout of a site, representation of final color, typography, imagery, etc.
10. Prototype: Interactive version of a site, may not be built with final code.
11. CTA: Call to action, usually paired with a button.
12. Conversion: When a user takes a specific desired action.
13. Landing Page: Single page optimized for a specific audience or search engine result.
14. Usability: How real users actually interact with your site, usually tested by observing a series of guided tasks.
User Interface Terms
User interface (UX, UI) includes elements on the page with which the user interacts. Your user interface does impact your user experience, although they aren’t the same thing. Don’t make your users think; Design an intuitive interface that takes advantage of modern patterns.

15. Breadcrumb: Hierarchical content links.
16. Menu: Primary navigation area, sometimes with a dropdown or flyout of sub-menu items.

18. Search: Open-ended input that queries content and returns a list of results.
19. Slider: A trendy, animated way of displaying information that you probably shouldn’t use. 🙂
Composition Terms
Composition refers to how the content and aesthetics of a website work together. Each element on web page should feel like it belongs within the website layout, not added as an afterthought.

Hierarchy Terms
Hierarchy involves the relative importance of visibility of pieces of information. Visual hierarchy is usually a collection of small details such as typography, color, proximity and balance. Having good hierarchy helps with the scannability of information and helps users prioritize information on the page by importance. Hierarchy also helps direct users through a website. Decisions made about the styling and position of elements have a huge impact on website experience.

25. Scale: How large or small are the elements on the page relative to each other?
26. Proximity/Alignment: Which elements on the page are associated with each other?
27. Focal Point: The place on the page to which we are directing the user’s attention

Typography Terms

Color Terms
Color encompasses aesthetic decisions about the use of color in a composition. Color can be used to evoke emotion, emphasis, divide or group elements; color can create visual unity and balance.

Re: High Performance Coding Class: Website Design Tutorial by Purposeciti: 7:45am On Aug 11, 2023
I learned from my boss : Dr Tope fasua, that if you keep waiting for the perfect system, you'll start nothing. And you'll wait forever. The trick is to start from where you are with what what you have, and keep improving the system. Perfection is the goal. Keep moving. Don't stop.

This lesson has really helped me.


I need critiques and peer review. So let's slug it out there.
