When you first start building your website, one of the first things you will notice are all of these terms, abbreviations, and jargon that might be totally new to you. We totally get it and have been in that same position before. That is why we thought it would be a fun idea to review some of the most common bits of webhosting jargon for you, and what better way to do it than with a game show? And what better contestants than Scott's family? While we can't cover every useful bit of webhosting jargon, we can cover some of the most common ones. In this video we will cover: 00:00 - Introduction 00:55 - IP Address 01:51 - DNS 02:39 - SSL 03:23 - CMS 04:13 - URL 05:00 - Wrap-Up IP Address: An internet protocol (IP) address is a website or device’s address on the web as far as machines are concerned. So while humans will use your domain name to access your website, their router will find the website via its IP address. DNS: DNS stands for domain name system, the system that translates domain names into IP addresses so that people can more easily access websites. SSL: SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It’s a type of security technology that encrypts data as it’s transferred between a browser and a web server. CMS: CMS stands for Content Management System. It’s a type of software designed to make managing all the files that make up a website easier. URL: A URL is a webpage’s main address on the web. It’s similar to a domain name, except that the domain is the address at a website level (e.g.https://hosting.thewebmakers.com.au/) and a URL is the address at a page level (e.g.https://partners.hostgator.com/EN0rQ).

Mistakes happen. Especially if you are new at something, and building a website is no different. Today, Scott and crew are back to go over the top 5 most common website building mistakes beginners make, and just what to do about them. If you are a new web builder, or are just looking to make a site for your new business, then this one's for you. That is if Scott can figure out how to say the title in the next 5 minutes. 00:00 - Introduction 00:28 - No Clear Goal 01:24 - Desktop Version Only 02:23 - Confusing Organization 03:03 - Lack of Personality03:49 - Skipping User Testing A website with no clear goal: Make sure you have a plan. A site without a clear intention can leave visitors confused. We advise you take a moment and write a treatment for your site. Basically… a business plan for your site. Focusing only on the desktop experience: The majority of browsing happens on mobile now. Do yourself a favor and make your size responsive. That way it looks good no matter where it’s viewed. Confusing Organization: Make sure your site’s navigation is intuitive. Things like putting the menu at the top, and not overcrowding your homepage will go a long way. Lack of Personality: Your brand and your brand voice need to be on full display on your website. One of the most common mistakes beginners make on their website is not giving their site the soul their customers are looking for. Skipping User Testing: When you finish building, you are going to want to have other people double check your work. Whether that is your business partner or your mother, a second(or third) pair of eyes are a necessity. For more web building tips, check out our blog at :- . https://hosting.thewebmakers.com.au .
