Question 1

Jin is an editor and ready to purchase the domain name for his website where he plans to market his services. He wants to be creative with the name, but you caution him about being too clever with what he chooses. What would be his best choice?
A) premierskills.com
B) wordsmithing.com
C) jin-102887.com
D) R2D2editing.com

Accepted Answer

A clear and straightforward domain name like premierskills.com is the best choice as it clearly indicates what Jin does and is easy to remember. The other options are either too clever (wordsmithing.com) or too complicated (jin-102887.com) which could make it difficult for potential clients to find and remember the website. R2D2editing.com is also too obscure and not related to Jin's profession.

Question 2

When you are shopping online and finalizing your order, you usually fill in forms for your name, address, email, and payment method. Sometimes those forms have an asterisk (*) next to them as required fields. Code in which of the following languages can check to make sure all required fields are completed?
A) JavaScript
B) HTML
C) CSS
D) Python

Accepted Answer

JavaScript can be used to check if all required fields are completed before allowing the user to submit the form. This can be done using form validation. HTML and CSS can be used to create the form and style it, but they cannot perform the validation. Python is a server-side language and is not typically used for client-side form validation.

Question 3

When using a content management system (CMS), how can you allow multiple individuals to work on a website at the same time without worrying they will override or duplicate work?
A) A CMS does not allow multiple contributors to use it at the same time.
B) A CMS is just another name for a drag-and-drop procedure that anyone can perform without any restrictions.
C) A CMS allows you to grant access to capabilities such as adding or removing content based on a contributor's role.
D) A CMS just adds capabilities to a website so it does not matter who is working on the website or when.

Accepted Answer

CMS allows you to grant access to different users with different roles. This ensures that only certain individuals have the ability to add or remove content. Additionally, many CMS systems have version control features to ensure that changes made by different users do not override each other. This ultimately minimizes the risk of duplicated or overwritten work.

Question 4

If a website is designed with responsive design concepts, then _____.
A) it appears correctly on any device regardless of screen size
B) it requires users to scroll from left to right on a device with a small screen
C) it displays small text on all screens
D) it does not allow users to resize graphics

Accepted Answer

Responsive design allows the website to adjust its layout and content to fit the screen size of the device being used, so the website appears correctly on any device. It does not require users to scroll from left to right, display small text on all screens, or prevent users from resizing graphics.

Question 5

What is uptime?
A) The speed at which data transfer takes place
B) The amount of time you will need to create your website
C) The measure of a web host's reliability
D) The measure of how much time people spend on your website

Accepted Answer

Uptime refers to the amount of time a web host's servers are continuously up and running without any interruptions or downtime. It is a measure of a web host's reliability and is important for ensuring that websites are accessible to visitors at all times.

Question 6

Your first project as the new web designer at Smart Design is to increase web traffic to help boost web orders. Before you begin redesigning the website, you look at the website analytics. What can they tell you?
A) if visitors dislike the company brand or product
B) if customers are buying products somewhere else
C) if your webpage appears first in search engine results
D) how visitors are using the site

Accepted Answer

Website analytics can show how visitors are using the site, such as what pages they are visiting, how long they are staying, where they are clicking, and at what point they are leaving. This information can help identify areas for improvement and determine what changes may lead to an increase in web traffic and orders. However, website analytics cannot necessarily determine if visitors dislike the company brand or product, if customers are buying products somewhere else, or if the webpage appears first in search engine results.

Question 7

Marly is using her smartphone to review a webpage she created. The formatting and alignment of webpage elements is incorrect. What does she need to change to fix the problem?
A) C++
B) HTML
C) JavaScript
D) CSS

Knowing that more people view webpages on their smartphones than on desktop or laptop computers, how would you design your website?
A) With no graphics, only text
B) With all content on one page
C) With responsive design
D) With a static layout

Accepted Answer

Responsive design is the best option for creating a website that can be easily navigated on a smartphone. This design ensures that all content and graphics can be resized to fit the screen of any device, providing a seamless user experience. A website with no graphics or a static layout may be difficult to read or navigate on a smaller screen, while a website with all content on one page may make it hard to find specific information.

Question 11

Before you name your website, you need to search for other sites using that name and then purchase a domain name.

B) Pages automatically adjust the size of their content relative to the size of the screen.
C) Pages use scripts to provide interactivity.
D) Pages interact with content stored in a database on a web server.

Accepted Answer

Responsive design refers to a website's ability to adapt its layout and content to different screen sizes, without the need for separate mobile and desktop versions of the site. This is achieved through the use of flexible layouts, images, and styles, as well as media queries that detect the size of the device screen and adjust the design accordingly. Option B describes this feature accurately, making it the correct choice. The other options are not related to responsive design.

Question 13

When you log into your email with your username and password, you are logging into a static website, since the look and feel is the same each time.

Question 16

Which of the following would most likely be a static website?
A) A news site
B) A blog
C) A historical facts page
D) An online shopping site

Accepted Answer

A historical facts page is most likely to be a static website because it contains information that does not frequently change and doesn't require dynamic content like user input, account login, or real-time updates. A news site may have dynamic content with breaking news updates and user comments, a blog may have regular content updates and user interaction, and an online shopping site may require real-time inventory updates and user account information.

A) viewing the number of pages a person visited
B) viewing the number of new and returning visitors
C) viewing why someone visited your webpage
D) deciding when to increase bandwidth

Accepted Answer

Website analytics tools provide quantitative data such as the number of pages visited, the number of new and returning visitors, and usage patterns that might inform decisions on bandwidth. However, they cannot directly reveal the qualitative reason why someone visited your webpage, such as their motivations or intentions.

Question 18

What is a popular language for writing scripts that run in your browser to control a webpage's behavior?
A) HTML
B) CSS
C) JavaScript
D) Python

Accepted Answer

JavaScript is a popular language for writing scripts that run in your browser to control a webpage's behavior. It is designed to manipulate HTML and CSS, and can also be used for server-side programming with Node.js. HTML and CSS are not programming languages, but rather markup languages used for structuring and styling web pages. Python is a general-purpose programming language that can be used for web development, but it is not commonly used for scripting in the browser.

Question 19

Which of the following is NOT a feature of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)?
A) Automatically indents code
B) Hosts webpages
C) Displays tags in a different color
D) Ensures code follows HTML specifications

A) will allow user interaction

D) requires less storage space on a server

Accepted Answer

A dynamic website allows for user interaction, meaning users can leave comments and participate in discussions, which aligns with Christian's goal for the blog. The other choices (B, C, and D) are incorrect as they do not necessarily apply to the benefits of a dynamic website.
