The DA is an indicator of the importance of website domains. The scale, ranging from 0 to 100, has been developed by MOZ software and helps users to check the reliability and authority of their website.

Lead generation is an action aimed at creating a list of potential clients for a web marketing strategy. After a thorough search for people interested in the type of product or service offered, a contact database will be established to target targeted advertisements, proposals and offers.

Open source software is the software whose developers have made the source code publicly available, i.e. the computer text that allows it to function. This gives the opportunity to anyone who is able to study it and make changes to it for improvement or customisation. They are usually free of charge programmes that any user can easily obtain and use, bypassing large manufacturing companies that market more complex and very expensive versions. The most classic example is Microsoft’s Office package (which requires an annual subscription payment), which is very often replaced by its open source rivals such as Open Office, LibreOffice or similar.

Peripheral Component Interconnect and Secure Sockets Layer are electronic systems that allow secure connection between two or more devices.

Social networks are online platforms created to foster direct social interaction between individuals from anywhere in the world. It is the informal media par excellence, through which it can be discussed and shared with anyone, whether known or not.

– Facebook — the first ever;
– Twitter — Short social media, which allows messages of up to 140 characters;
– Instagram — the social media of ‘immediate’ photos;
– Pinterest – another social media dedicated to photos;
– LinkedIn – dedicated to job profiles.
To join one of them, you need to create an identity and start to interact with the other users of the same platform. The words for the best management of digital “I” are: Sharing and informality. They are all for free use and, if used in the right way, can bring huge economic and digital benefits.

TAG, title and meta data are destinations for information used by anyone who creates or operates a website.

The term ‘user experience’ in Italian means ‘user experience’ and means precisely what our client proves against our product or service. It underpins one of the most personalised marketing techniques and can also apply to the public online. In order to do so, a user must be impersonated during a real user experience, from the moment of choice to the stage following the purchase in which he or she may need assistance. First of all, we need to search for the most appropriate target for what we offer and, once chosen, analyse it from a psychological, perceptive and emotional point of view. On the basis of the results achieved throughout the pathway, subsequent actions should be adapted to improve the usability of the customer and to increase the number of customers due to their greater satisfaction.

The English term in Italian is translated as ‘easy to use’, although it is not a literal translation. The original way of saying is composed of ‘user’, meaning user, and ‘friendly’, which means amicable. In fact, it means that a computer medium can be easily used by anyone, even by those who do not have any specific knowledge or experience with it. In the case of a website, user-friendly means that it is intuitive and easy to navigate.
