The process of updating the content (word and pictures) on a website. There are several options available for this, ranging from paying someone (either an hourly rate or set contract fee), through to doing it yourself using a fully-blown Content Management system. These systems can be expensive to implement, and most have limitations on what you can change. Changes to page layout or navigation still need to be done by a web designer. The right option for you will depend on what needs to change and how often. This should be decided near the beginning of the project, as it impacts how your site is designed and built.

A Cookie is a mechanism by which server side operations (such as CGIscripts) can store and retrieve information on the client side of the connection. In practice, this means that information submitted by a web browser to a web server via a form or other interactive method can be stored on the browser machine and resubmitted when the web server URL is accessed at some point in the future. Examples would include login or registration information, online "shopping carts" or user surveys. Since cookies can store user information (on the user's own computer), they are used to personalize the WWW experience by recognizing and acknowledging the user when reentering a web site. Cookies are typically set to expire after a predetermined amount of time. Cookies *do not* read your hard drive and send your life story to the CIA.
