website header

What is a website header?

The header is the top rectangular shaped area that runs across the top of the web page on your screen.

The primary purpose of your header is to promote your company’s brand and make it instantly recognizable to your audience. Your audience should instantly know they have arrived at the correct place, even if they are not already familiar with your company.

For some companies where the brand is less important you should try to convey what the website is about and what the website does by using the header. This can be done with the use of short text or a relevant graphic, which conveys the general concept of your site/product – for example, a company that manufactures bicycle clothing might use an image of a cyclist in action.

This header is the most valuable space on the screen. Or, in designer’s terms – it is the most expensive piece of screen real estate. The header should always be used wisely, keeping in mind the goals and vision of your web site design.

Audio

what is audio?

Audio is sound within the acoustic range available to humans. An audio frequency (AF) is an electrical alternating current within the 20 to 20,000 hertz (cycles per second) range that can be used to produce acoustic sound. In computers, audio is the sound system that comes with or can be added to a computer. An audio card contains a special built-in processor and memory for processing audio files and sending them to speakers in the computer. An audio file is a record of captured sound that can be played back. Sound is a sequence of naturallyanalog signals that are converted to digital signals by the audio card, using a microchip called an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). When sound is played, the digital signals are sent to the speakers where they are converted back to analog signals that generate varied sound.
