The design part of web design is creating a flat layout for the website using graphic design software such as Figma or Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator for example. This is then used as a reference to build the website pages. Websites are built this way as it is easier to move/align/change elements using graphic software than with code.

Figma is a design app where you can draw what the page will look like, before you start writing any code. It is used to create page layouts as it is a lot easier to work with graphics in an app, than to write code to control the layout of the page. Once a design is approved, it can then be used as a guide to build the actual website.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to style and layout web pages — for example, to alter the font, color, size, and spacing of content, split it into multiple columns, or add animations and other decorative features.

HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. HTML describes the structure of a Web page. HTML consists of a series of elements. HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content. These HTML elements label pieces of content such as “this is a heading”, “this is a paragraph”, “this is a link”, etc.

JavaScript is a scripting or programming language that allows you to implement complex features on web pages – every time a web page does more than just sit there and display static information for you to look at, such as displaying timely content updates, interactive maps, animated 2D/3D graphics, scrolling video jukeboxes, etc. you can bet that JavaScript is probably involved. It is the third layer of the layer cake of standard web technologies, the other two being HTML and CSS.

PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor ) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for creating dynamic web pages and can be embedded into HTML. PHP is a server-side programming language (whereas HTML is a client-side scripting language) and is used in backend development, which interacts with databases to retrieve, store, and modify the information. HTML is used in frontend development, which organizes the content of the website.

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) built with php, that allows you to host and build websites. WordPress contains plugin architecture and a template system, so you can customize any website to fit your business, blog, portfolio, or online store.
