Web designing.

Let us start from scrap.

WEBSITE : Website is a collection of web pages.It may also include media files like movies , mp3 , pictures in jpg or gif format , flash etc.

WEBPAGES : Web pages are the individual pages in a website.They are mostly written (CODED) in html (hyper text markup language).YOU can find more on html at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML. Also refer
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/. Speciality of webpages is that when it is viewed using a browser such as firefox or explorer the page looks according to the specification given in html file.

STATIC AND DYNAMIC WEB PAGES : There are mainly 2 types of webpages - static and dynamic .
Static web pages : They look the same all the time.The appearance and the content doesnt change according to these factors :
* which browser YOU are using.
* number of times YOU are visiting etc..

Dynamic webpages : The content and look of this webpages changes dynamically.
Dynamic webpages are mostly created with help of javascript.Learn more about javascript at :

Sometimes we use database for dynamic websites.
Have YOU ever thought about how the cricket scores vary in the webpages.
This is done using dyanmic webpages.Everytime YOU request a webpage.(no jargons please , YOU just enter the address of the website in address bar and just press GO) the web server ( the computer where these webpages are stored ) loads the cricket score from
database file and generates an html file and sends it to YOUR web browser and YOU see the new score.



This post was intended to give a mere idea about what webpages are and types of webpages .

Wishing YOU all Success and Prosperity ,
