Theme design
Theme design creates the look and feel for your site. Themes mix visual design concepts such as color, shape, and metaphor with site navigation functionality. A theme must grab your audience's attention and motivate them to explore further.

Production processing
Production processing makes site content 'web ready'. Graphics are compressed into web formats, text are translated into electronic form (if it is not already), and multi-media are processed accordingly. While production processing is a fairly strait-forward process it can be time consuming.

Search Engine
A search engine allows people to find web pages/sites that contain a given keyword phrase. When a user enters and makes a query the engine returns the pages/sites that it determines to best match the search criteria. Each search engine has its own method of indexing a page/site to determine which ones rank best.

Search Keywords
Keyword phrases are the words and control symbols used as query input for a database search. They are most commonly used in reference to web page search engines where the keywords describe the content the searcher is seeking.

Web Server
A web server is a computer with special software to host web pages and web applications. Web server's traditional function has been to serve static HTML (and more recently XML) pages. As the Internet has become more functional, i.e. e-commerce and dynamic sites, increasing emphasis is placed on a servers ability to host web applications.

Web Hosting
Web hosting provides a HTML/XML server and networking that allows the public Internet, or private Intranet, to access your pages. The scripts for web applications and e-commerce also reside on a hosting server. All web sites must be hosted, whether on your own internal servers or through the 3rd party hosting services.
