# Resorts and Lodges

# HTML...What?

[Mobile Marketing Trends](https://info.trackhospitality.com/resorts-and-lodges/mobile-marketing-trends) [An Overview of Sponsored Links](https://info.trackhospitality.com/resorts-and-lodges/an-overview-of-sponsored-links)

Let’s face it. We’re not all Web designers. In fact, the majority of us barely know how to Facebook or Twitter, let alone create a web site from scratch. I’ve been going over several basics of web site design for the past couple of weeks and I’ve come across a slight glitch. It’s hard keeping up with Web design terminology. So I’ve compiled a basic list of Web design terms that will help you as a resort or lodge owner to understand the goings-on about web sites. The more you know about your web site, the more you’ll be better able to maintain its look and manage it effectively - the overall goal.

Common website terms:

- **HTML** – **HTML** stands for hypertext markup language. It is the primary language used to build Web pages. For example, the **HTML** tag <p style="text-align: center;" will create a new paragraph on your page and center the text.

- **XHTML** – **XHTML** stands for extensible hypertext markup language. This language is useful because it will work for a variety of browsers including those on cell phones or other small devices.
- **XML** – **XML** stands for extensible markup language. It is the set of rules for encoding documents in a computer form, and it’s most useful for organizing large amounts of content and making it easy to reuse in other places on your site.
- **Cascading style sheets (CSS)** – **CSS** is a style-sheet language, primarily used to describe the look and formatting of Web pages most commonly written in **HTML** or **XHTML**. **CSS** allows you to easily recreate a specific look and feel across numerous Web pages.
- **JavaScript** – **JavaScript** is a prototype-based, object-orienting scripting language. It is primarily used as a part of a Web browser to enhance user interfaces and dynamic websites. In other words, **JavaScript** makes a web site run smoother and faster for a better user experience.
- **PHP** – **PHP** is a general scripting language designed for Web development to produce dynamic (or evolving) Web pages.
- **Flash** – **Flash** is a multimedia platform used to add animation, video, and interactive elements to a Web page.
- **GIF/JPEG/PNG/TIFF** – These are types of image file formats used to organize and store digital images. The most common image format is a **JPEG**. Most digital cameras produce **JPEGS** by default.
- **FTP** Server – The **File Transfer Protocol** is used to copy files from one host over to another via the Internet. **FTPs** are extremely useful for quickly transferring files and documents that are too large to be sent via email.
