Webmail

Web mail (or web-based email) 

 Is any email client implemented as a web application running on a web server. Examples of web mail software are Round cube and Squirrel Mail. Examples of web mail providers are AOL Mail, Gmail, Outlook.com/Hotmail.com and Yahoo! Mail.[] Many web mail providers also offer email access by a desktop email client using standard email protocols, while many internet service providers provide a web-mail client as part of the email service included in their internet service package.

As with any web application, web mail's main advantage over the use of a desktop email client is the ability to send and receive email anywhere from a web browser. Its main disadvantage is the need to be connected to the Internet while using it. Other software tools also exist to integrate parts of web mail functionality into an OS (e.g. creating messages directly from third party applications via MAPI)

Web Design

Web design is the process of creating websites. It encompasses several different aspects, including webpage layout, content production, and graphic design. While the terms web design and web development are often used interchangeably, web design is technically a subset of the broader category of web development. Websites are created using a markup language called HTML. Web designers build webpages using HTML tags that define the content and metadata of each page. The layout and appearance of the elements within a webpage are typically defined using CSS, or cascading style sheets. Therefore, most websites include a combination of HTML and CSS that defines how each page will appear in a browser. Some web designers prefer to hand code pages (typing HTML and CSS from scratch), while others use a "WYSIWYG" editor like Adobe Dreamweaver. This type of editor provides a visual interface for designing the webpage layout ...
