Difference Between A Website and A Webpage

What is the difference between a website and a web page?

A website is a collection of web pages that are related to each other. A web page is an HTML document that has texts, videos, sounds, animation, and images.

The web pages are formatted and organized to be accessed using browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox Safari, and Chrome and these browsers allow you to see the HTML document as a beautiful website with colors, videos, sounds, animations, and images.

Let us look at USAToday's website. If we are to look at this as an HTML document alone without using a browser, this is what it will look like. But if we use a browser to interpret what the HTML document is saying about the page’s appearance it will look much nicer.

So, let’s open up a browser and type in the web address usatoday.com. The first web page you see is called the home page. The design of the home page usually allows you to go to other web pages by clicking on the hyperlinks or simply links on top of the home page. The home page usually provides information about what the website is about. In this case, usatoday.com is a news website and the home page tells you what topics are covered such as news, sports, life, money, tech, and so on and so forth.

Let’s go to the Sports Page. The Sports page is another web page inside USAToday's website. As you can see, the links to other major web pages are still on top and you can always go to any of the major web pages. The sports page provides you information, videos, sounds, and links to other web pages related to sports. Let’s go to the travel page by clicking on the travel tab or link. This web page or the travel page provides you travel information and related links.

And all these web pages are part of the USAToday's website.

So, a website is a collection of web pages with related information while a web page is a page of related information.

That is the difference between a website and a web page.
