Paged Media
Paged media is content that is split into one or more discrete pages.

The media types handheld and tv are both continuous and paged media. Printed documents are the most commonly seen example of paged media.
Pageview
A pageview is a request for an item called a page in Web analytics. A page is loosely defined as all the requests required to build one Web page. A pageview can include many hits, as the page is built with CSS, scripts, and images. Pageviews are a good unit of measure in Web analytics. The number of pageviews a website gets is a measure of how popular it is and how attractive it will be to advertisers. Most Web analytics tools will show you pageviews.

Progressive enhancement
Progressive enhancement is a strategy of handling web page design for different browsers. Since web browsers have been around as long as the Web, it is possible to have customers viewing your web pages in browsers that are extremely old and missing features of more modern browsers. Progressive enhancement is a way of designing web pages where the more features a user agent supports, the more features the web page will have. It is the opposite of the design strategy graceful degradation that builds pages for the most modern browsers first and then converts them to work with less functional browsers.
When using progressing enhancement for web design, we need to keep it simple, since it aims to be visible from any browser. The whole HTML code needs to be valid and semantically correct. Its design needs to be specified through external CSS (Cascade Style Sheets) and we need to take into consideration that not all browsers behave the same way with the different styles. Behaviours added through external script languages need to be compatible with any browser and, when not allowing the whole script execution, it needs to allow, at least, the website surfing and its use.
