An interest rate is the rate at which interest is paid by borrowers for the use of money that they borrow from a lender. Specifically, the interest rate (I/m) is a percent of principal paid a certain amount of times (m) per period (usually quoted per annum). For example, a small company borrows capital from a bank to buy new assets for its business, and in return the lender receives interest at a predetermined interest rate for deferring the use of funds and instead lending it to the borrower. Interest rates are normally expressed as a percentage of the principal for a period of one year.

Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems.
Adobe's 2003 "Creative Suite" rebranding led to Adobe Photoshop 8's renaming to Adobe Photoshop CS. Thus, Adobe Photoshop CS6 is the 13th major release of Adobe Photoshop. The CS rebranding also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a reduced price. Adobe Photoshop is released in two editions: Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Photoshop Extended, with the Extended having extra 3D image creation, motion graphics editing, and advanced image analysis features.[5] Adobe Photoshop Extended is included in all of Adobe's Creative Suite offerings except Design Standard, which includes the Adobe Photoshop edition.
Alongside Photoshop and Photoshop Extended, Adobe also publishes Photoshop Elements and Photoshop Lightroom, collectively called "The Adobe Photoshop Family". In 2008, Adobe released Adobe Photoshop Express, a free web-based image editing tool to edit photos directly on blogs and social networking sites; in 2011 a version was released for the Android operating system and the iOS operating system.[6][7]
Adobe distributes Photoshop in Windows and Macintosh versions.

CSS 3
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL.

HTML5
HTML5 is a markup language for structuring and presenting
content for the World Wide Web and a core technology of the Internet. It is the
fifth revision of the HTML standard (created in 1990 and standardized as HTML 4
as of 1997)[2] and, as of December 2012, is a W3C Candidate Recommendation.[3]
Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest
multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently
understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers, etc.). HTML5 is
intended to subsume not only HTML 4, but also XHTML 1 and DOM Level 2 HTML.
Following its immediate predecessors HTML 4.01 and XHTML
1.1, HTML5 is a response to the observation that the HTML and XHTML in common
use on the World Wide Web are a mixture of features introduced by various
specifications, along with those introduced by software products such as web
browsers, those established by common practice, and the many syntax errors in
existing web documents.[4] It is also an attempt to define a single markup
language that can be written in either HTML or XHTML syntax. It includes detailed
processing models to encourage more interoperable implementations; it extends,
improves and rationalises the markup available for documents, and introduces
markup and application programming interfaces (APIs) for complex web
applications.[5] For the same reasons, HTML5 is also a potential candidate for
cross-platform mobile applications. Many features of HTML5 have been built with
the consideration of being able to run on low-powered devices such as
smartphones and tablets. In December 2011, research firm Strategy Analytics
forecast sales of HTML5 compatible phones will top 1 billion in 2013.
Web Design
Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines
in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web
design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardized code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search
engine optimization. Often many individuals will work in teams covering
different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover
them all.[1] The term web design is normally used to describe the design process
relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing
mark up. Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of
web development. Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability
and if their role involves creating mark up then they are also expected to be
up to date with web accessibility guidelines.
