FLOWCHART: A flowchart is a schematic representation of an algorithm or a process.
We use flow charts to help organize your website content. And when the site is live, use the flow chart as a guide for maintenance. If you are remodeling your site, make sure you have a flowchart as part of your RFP. It can save time!
GIF: The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is an 8-bit-per-pixel bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability. We use .gif for resizable vector and line art online. There is a "you say gif, I say jif" debate - we fall into the gif category :)
HTML: An initialism of HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document — by denoting certain text as links, headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on — and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects. HTML is written in the form of tags, surrounded by angle brackets. HTML can also describe, to some degree, the appearance and semantics of a document, and can include embedded scripting language code (such as JavaScript) which can affect the behavior of Web browsers and other HTML processors. By convention, HTML format data files use a file extension .html or .htm.
