Let’s just say for a minute that I took you shopping to buy a Lamborghini today, what color would you get? I saw a white Lamborghini the other day. A Lamborghini should be black, red, yellow, or some other bright color that exudes strength.

‘Web Page’ does seem rather ancient.
I don’t even like the term ‘Web Designer’ anymore because every Joe Schmoe on the planet thinks that because he’s got a MySpace page that he customized, that he knows how to design for the web. Schmuck.
…When a business owner tells you they need a ‘web page’ for their company, I always laugh a little inside.
If someone asks for a web page give them one. Create one page with a bit of info on it. If they ask why there aren’t any pages, remind them that they asked for a web ‘page’.
What they would be hoping for would be a ‘web site’ but i still think this term is a little dated. Possibly refering to a site on the internet could be similar to refering to real world property and therefore ‘web sites’ could be called ‘online properties’.
Then instead of being a ‘web designer’ one could be called an ‘online design consultant’ and a ‘web developer’ could be called an ‘online property manager’.
