Website Design Bangkok / Hat Yai

web design terminology

If website design is new to you and some of the terminology is a bit meaningless, take a look at the glossary. It includes a lot of common jargon and may be of help.

(updated april 1 2012)

Client: Austro-Pro

Sector: Bakery supplies / Wholesaler

Location: Bangkok, Thailand

Date: Re-designed March / April 2012

Austro Pro is Thailand's leading supplier of bakery products. The company supply up to 200,000 items per month to hotel chains such as Sofitel, Le Meridien and Marriot. Austro-Pro are also a major supplier to BITEC – the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Center. This new website replaces the original site I made in 2008.

Client: Little Coogie

Sector: Clothing / Manufacturing / Export

Location: Bangkok, Thailand

Date: November 2009

This is the website I designed for Little Coogie in Bangkok. The company is Thailand's second largest manufacturer and exporter of young children's clothes. Several very big orders have been placed via this site: the largest I'm aware of came from Dubai and was worth over $100,000. The site has been discussed frequently in articles about website design.

Client: JetAsia Airways

Sector: Airline / Aviation

Location: Bangkok, Thailand

Date: October 2011 - March 2012


This is the website I designed for JetAsia, a Thai airline which operates daily scheduled services between Bangkok and Tokyo. The website is still very new and only about 80% finished. As more content and functionality is added, I will evolve the site into something more polished.

Client: ISO 9001 Council

Sector: NGO / Business advisory services

Location: Zurich, Switzerland

Date: July 2011

Based in Zurich, Switzerland, the ISO 9001 Council is an non-government organization that promotes ISO 9001 as a tool for increased quality and business efficiency. The council has a global membership and has assisted companies in more than 20 countries to achieve full ISO 9001 compliance.

Client: SKJ Ancient Beadart

Sector: Jewelry / Antiques

Location: Bangkok & Tokyo

Date: March 2010

This is an e-commerce site I made for SKJ Ancient Beadart, a jewelry business that sells ancient beads and Roman-period artifacts. The site has a database of about 600 different items and generates sales of several thousand dollars per month. Home page photography was done using a digital SLR fitted with a 100mm macro lens.

Client: Sunrise Homes International

Sector: Accommodation provider

Location: California, USA

Date: January 2012

A partner of the University of California, Sunrise Homes is a property management company that provides accommodation for students in San Rafael and Santa Barbara. Notable features of this site are the extensive Visitor Information sections that detail tourist attractions from San Francisco down to Los Angeles.

Client: Indochina Photoelectric

Sector: Photography

Location: Hat Yai, Thailand

Date: June 2011

This is a photo gallery I made for Indochina Photoelectric, a studio in the south of Thailand that specialises in documentary photography. The site has 12 galleries that show about 300 black and white photographs. The design is extremely minimal – the intention was to make the photos stand out as much as possible.


Actionscript

Actionscript is an easy-to-use programming language that is built into Flash. It's similar to Javascript.

AJAX

AJAX is a technology used to add richness and interactivity to web pages. It was invented by a man at Google and has become a standard feature on many modern websites.

API

In terms of website design, an API can be thought of as a small computer program that can be used to access popular services such as Google maps and Google charts.

Blog

A blog is a good way of keeping a website fresh and up to date. Many blogging packages are available: some are easy to set up and manage; others are feature-rich and much more complicated.

Browser

A browser is the program you use to view web pages. Popular browsers include Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. Some people are surprised to learn that different browsers can often display the same web page differently. Because of this, thorough testing in all major browsers is essential when making websites.

CMS

A CMS, or Content Management System, is a sort of admin area that can be used to update, edit or delete website content. Some Content Management Systems are very basic; others are more comprehensive and give site owners control over almost every aspect of their site.

CSS

CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is a design language used to control the layout and presentation of web pages.

Database

A database is really just a collection of information. The information might be the names and addresses of your clients; it might be an inventory of your stock; or it might be a listing of room rates and availability at a hotel.

Domain name

A domain name is basically the address of a website; ie, abc.com.

Encryption

Encryption is often necessary to prevent unauthorized access to confidential or sensitive information. The difference between encrypting and encoding is that encrypted content cannot be decrypted.

Flash

Flash is used to add animation, slideshows and video to websites. It's less popular today than in the past as many people find it unnecessary and distracting.

Hosting

See the entry for Server.

HTML

HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is the core language used for making websites. Many website designers use a version of the language called XHTML.

Javascript

Javascript, also known as ECMAScript or DOM scripting, is a programming language used to add animation and interactivity to web pages. Javascript is often confused with JAVA, but the two languages are actually quite different.

PHP

PHP, or PHP Hypertext Protocol, is a programming language used to manage information on the server. It is often used in conjunction with AJAX to control the appearance and content of web pages.

SEO

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, refers to the techniques that are used to help websites achieve high rankings in Google, Yahoo or Bing.

Server

All websites need to be hosted on a server. Choosing a server is similar to choosing a service provider for a mobile phone: numerous packages are available, and variations in price and quality can be considerable.

SQL

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is a language used for retrieving information from a database.

XHTML

XHTML, or Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, is basically another version of HTML.
