Hero
In the context of web design, the Hero area (sometimes used as “Hero Image” as well) refers to the primary spread on a webpage, usually the site’s homepage, at or near the top of the screen and generally just below the navigation menu.
Your hero area should be the most visually prominent area of the page, and also have the most immediate, actionable information for the user to your site.

Agile Development
Agile Development - sometimes simply called Agile - is a project management style that emphasizes quick, iterative changes to a project to maintain flexibility in the project’s parameters and deliverables.
This is often juxtaposed with Waterfall Development, wherein an entire project is completed in stages before any launch happens. Testing and iterating in Agile often happens during development, with the initial launch happening much earlier in the process to get quicker feedback.

Call to Action (CTA)
A Call to Action is any prompt on a website or app asking the user to take a specific action, often in the form of a clickable button. “Buy Now” is a common example, though calls to action don’t always have to involve a purchase. Signing up for a newsletter or downloading a free eBook can be valuable CTAs that increase user trust and also obtain contact information of interested visitors.
