Websites from A to Z
EDIT: The list was incredibly long, so I converted it into a cloud. Much nicer to look at.
Okay, fine… A – W. I’m working on some course material, and came across a document I created a while back. I’ve added to it and put it into alphabetical order for the sake of a glossary. It essentially covers every aspect you need to consider when creating a website.
Click on the image to see the large version.
I thought I’d share it with the world as this is a list of words relating to aspects of website creation needing to be considered, or at least communicated on most projects.
Feel free to suggest anything you think I’ve missed in the comments. But remember, we work almost exclusively in PHP and MySQL, so no need to mention any Microsoft related technologies

Hi Ross
I was delighted to see that forms are so important to web sites that you’ve given them a double entry on your list
I would add a few items extra, though:
1. “The reason why you’re creating a website” – I think people sometimes forget to think through why they’re doing it.
2. “Privacy/data protection” – like Accessibility, this is a legal requirement in many countries and a moral requirement in all of them.
3. “Internationalisation/localisation” – it’s a World Wide Web and it’s a good idea to think about whether you want to serve an international audience, or strictly a local one, or what mixture of those.
Best

Hi Caroline, thanks for spotting that. I’ve removed the redundant form
I also added your suggestions…
