#Alignment

The alignment or positioning of elements in relation to the container or each other, aiming for balance and user-friendliness. For example, consider texts aligned left, right, or centered.

#Accessibility

The degree to which websites and web applications are available and usable for visitors and users, regardless of their background, experience and possible disabilities.

#Alt text

A short, descriptive text for an image that is placed in the HTML. This text is not visible in a normal browser but is intended for visitors with visual impairments who, for example, use screen readers. Additionally, the text provides extra information about the image to search engines, which is beneficial for SEO.

#A/B-test

For example, consider two different webpages, each with a button added at different locations or with different colors, to see which one generates more conversions.

#API

Agile emerged in the early 2000s as a response to the limitations of traditional, rigid software development methodologies such as the waterfall method, which often resulted in lengthy development cycles and products that did not meet customer needs.
