Web page

A web page (or webpage) is a specific collection of information


provided by a website and displayed to a user in a web browser. A
website typically consists of many web pages linked together in a
coherent fashion. The name "web page" is a metaphor of paper
pages bound together into a book.

Elements
The core element of a web page is one or more text files written in
the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).[1] Many web pages also
make use of JavaScript code for dynamic behavior and Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS) code for presentation semantics.[1] Images,
videos, and other multimedia files are also often embedded in
web pages.

website

Each web page is identified by a distinct Uniform Resource


Locator (URL). When the user inputs a URL into their browser,
that page's elements are downloaded from web servers. The browser then transforms all of the elements
into an interactive visual representation on the user's device.[2]

If the user clicks or taps a link to another page, the browser repeats this process to display the new page,
which could be part of the current website or a different one.

Deployment
From the perspective of server-side website deployment, there are two types of web pages: static and
dynamic. Static pages are retrieved from the web server's file system without any modification,[3] while
dynamic pages must be created by the web server on the fly, typically drawing from a database to fill out
a web template, before being sent to the user's browser.[4]
