Like street smarts, someone who has web smarts or is “web smart” is someone who knows how to deal with difficult or dangerous situations, except it's primarily used on the internet as opposed to when you're in an urban environment. Can be useful as being either street smart or book smart.
Someone who is web smart knows the “rules of the internet” from basic online etiquette to the more complex nuances of online communication. Since most of the global net hinges on written communication, someone who iss web smart are able to figure out the following:
1) What websites you can trust for information and which ones are complete BS.
2) Get an idea of what kind of users are acting in bad faith, such as trolls, scammers, hackers, etc.
3) Distinguish what to do and what not to do when something seems off in private communication.
4) Generally can be more personable online since they know how to keep people's attention as they read posts.
5) Knows what to post and what not to post, where anonymity matters, what information they should keep off the internet.
GRANTED, these are not the only things that someone who is web smart are able to do depending on what they do for a living and there are disadvantages to them in the same way being book smart or street smart has them. HOWEVER, at the very least being web smart can help keep one's problems on the internet from leaking into real life.

Martin: Hey, did you hear that Jose almost got hacked?
Jose: From what Jose told me the guy who tried contacting him was using one of his friend's accounts and he knew right away based on the writing style that was being used it was some guy from India.
Martin: Jose has some web smarts, doesn't he?

Get the Web Smartsmug. Web design is the process of creating websites. It encompasses several different aspects, including webpage layout, content production, and graphic design. While the terms web design and web development are often used interchangeably, web design is technically a subset of the broader category of web development.
Websites are created using a markup language called HTML. Web designers build webpages using HTML tags that define the content and metadata of each page. The layout and appearance of the elements within a webpage are typically defined using CSS, or cascading style sheets. Therefore, most websites include a combination of HTML and CSS that defines how each page will appear in a browser.

Get the web sitemug. Contrary to popular believe (see: ala mode), the Wood wide web's nonsensical capitalization structure is purpose built for it's own rationale. You see that the wood can be utilized, speaks to human's ownership of the domain of Earth. The wideness of this expanse, speaks to the spooky incantation which follows it. That is to say, we have not uncovered all rocks, harvested all grain, plowed and fertilized all soil. And, while this may be scary in that Brown Recluse Spiders are all around us, wanting to murder us for our existent nature--they mostly love in the woods, protecting their own webs. . ."mostly"
Eric Cartman is a proud user of the Www to. . .uh justify bully in the Wood wide web. Like a comment bullying a bully--which in this case, the thought completes itself. (I.e. : "I have evidence, and I'll use it!" )
