What Are Web Pages and Web Sites?

A web page is an HTML document that is stored on a web server and has a URL so that it can be accessed via the Web.

A web site is a collection of web pages belonging to a particular person or organization. The home page is the "front door" of the site and is set up to help viewers find whatever is of interest to them on that site. The URL of the home page also serves as the URL of the web site.

For example, the URL of Microsoft's home page is http://www.microsoft.com. From the home page, you can get to Microsoft's web pages about Windows Vista at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/.
