Clear explanations of web technologies and practical examples for your project

Technical Terms

What is SaaS?

SaaS stands for 'Software as a Service' – software you don't buy and install, but use online and pay monthly. Think of Netflix for movies or Spotify for music: you pay a subscription and have access everywhere. That's exactly how SaaS works for business software. Instead of buying expensive licenses and dealing with updates, you simply sign up and get started. Examples include accounting software, project management tools, or CRM systems.

Benefits of SaaS:

No installation needed – runs in the browser
Automatic updates and backups
Accessible from anywhere (computer, tablet, phone)
Predictable monthly costs instead of large upfront payment
Quick start without IT overhead

What is an API?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is like a waiter in a restaurant: you place your order, the waiter takes it to the kitchen and comes back with your food. You don't need to know how the kitchen works – the waiter handles the communication. Similarly, APIs connect different programs to each other. When your website automatically displays weather data or processes payments through PayPal, that happens through APIs.

Practical examples:

Weather data on your website
Payments via Stripe or PayPal
Login with Google or Facebook
Automatic email sending

Frontend vs Backend

Think of a website like a restaurant: The frontend is the dining room – what guests see and interact with. Beautiful decor, menu, friendly service. The backend is the kitchen – invisible to guests, but where the real work happens. Orders are processed, food is prepared, inventory is managed.

Frontend (What you see):

Website design and layout
Buttons, forms, menus
Animations and interactions
Responsive display on all devices

Backend (What runs behind the scenes):

Database with all information
User login and security
Email delivery
Payment processing

Examples & Use Cases

Website for Clubs & Organizations

Whether it's a garden club, sports team, or cultural organization – having your own website is essential today. New members find you online, events can be shared centrally, and important documents are always available.

What a club website needs:

Introduction to the club and its history
Events and calendar
Contact form for interested parties
Members area with login (optional)
Photo gallery of past events
Download area for bylaws and forms

Website for Tradespeople

As an electrician, painter, roofer, or other tradesperson, your website is your digital storefront. Customers search for local tradespeople online today – those who can't be found lose jobs to the competition.

What a tradesperson website needs:

Clear presentation of your services
Reference projects with before/after photos
Contact option for inquiries and quotes
Phone number prominently visible
Service area and availability
Customer reviews and certifications

Website for Restaurants & Cafés

Hungry customers search for nearby restaurants online. With an appealing website, you present your menu, enable reservations, and make people hungry for a visit.

What a restaurant website needs:

Current menu (easy to update)
Opening hours and location with map
Online reservation or phone number
Photos of dishes and ambiance
Information on allergens and dietary options
