What about "webbie"? Or just "web person", for the boring business
types...

Reminds me of my company's European colleagues, who often start an email
with the salutation "Dears", regardless of their gender or that of the
recipients. Then there's a former co-worker who often preferred
"Gentlepersons".

If you haven't come across this yet, Sergio Villarreal presents a
generic technique for adding a drop-shadow to any image, preventing the
need to embed the drop-shadow in the image itself. It utilizes a largish
image of a drop-shadow positioned behind the image you are shadowing,
sized appropriately, with just the bottom-right corner peeking around.
