• executing frontend processing of the web server;
• forming at least one frontend session communicatively coupling the web server to an Internet browser;
• serving a plurality of web pages of a website, the website addressed by a first uniform resource locator (URL), at least one web page of the website including a set of computer readable instructions configured to create one or more interactive objects, the one or more interactive objects associated with the backend processing of the web server;
• administering a theme editor, the theme editor configured to modify themes associated with web pages;
