WHAT IS A WEBSITE?
A website is a collection of several webpages linked together using hyperlinks. All the webpages
are linked together under a single domain name to uniquely identify the website. Websites are
the main source of connecting hyperlinks to different sections, and these sections may further
include other relevant webpages. Like a webpage, people can easily navigate any website using a
web browser and entering the domain address. Websites also follow the same programming
languages for the development, which are required for webpage development. However, website
development is complex and takes more time.
Websites are usually divided into two main categories, such as static and interactive. Static
websites are designed to share information and resources without the involvement and
interaction with visitors. Interactive websites allow visitors to interact with other members and
the author using the comment box, chat box, article posting, etc. Some other popular categories
are affiliate websites, e-commerce websites, dating websites, social networking websites, etc.
HOMEPAGE
The homepage is the name of the main page of a website where visitors can find hyperlinks to
other pages on the site.
