It helps to know what you're reading about as you set out to design, create & build, and manage your own website.  So here's some terms and definitions you might encounter as you are researching what kind of website you want to build and learning how you want to build it.

Admin Panel
This the backend of your website, where you can login with your username and password to manage your website.  With Ultimate Web Builder software you can not only manage the content of your website, but also the design, members, subscribers, ads, payments, and items if you're selling any.

Code Injection (type of hacking)
If software coding is not secure and does not validate data that is received, hackers may exploit this by having the code process invalid data.  The hacker introduces (or "inject") code into the insecure computer program and change how the program was intended to work.

Cross-Browser & Cross Platform Compatibility
If your website is cross-browser and cross platform compatible, it means that it works on the major internet search engines, computers, and perhaps even tablets and smart phones too.  With Ultimate Web Builder software you can build a fully cross-browser/platform compatible website - that means it will display correctly on tablets and smart phones too!

CSS
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.  It is coding used to stylize your website.  Ultimate Web Builder software does the CSS coding for you in your Admin Panel Styles Manager.  If you know css coding, you can optionally add your own css coding there too, besides in the Admin Panel Ad(d)s section.

Mailing List - Subscribers, Mail Groups, HTML Mailers
Mailing List forms are used for gathering email addresses, names, and other optional info from website visitors interested in being emailed with news, special promotions, etc - i.e. mailers.  HTML Mailers categorize mailers, or emails, that contain special styling, integrated images ... in another words it's not just plain text emails.  You can create a mailing list, mail groups, and mailers without any experience with Ultimate Web Builder software.  Users are called subscribers when they add their email, ie.
