What is a Web Page?
A web page is a document you can view using a browser. It may contain text,
images, videos and hyperlinks to other web pages and files.
The language of Web pages
Web Pages are usually written in a language called HTML(HyperText Markup
Language), a universal language that was developed to produce the layout
of web pages.

NB. HTML is NOT a programming language.

Web Pages contains codes called ‘tags’ that a web browser uses to present
the text and images on the web page. The browser then interprets these tags
to produce and format the web page for you to view.
Why do we use HTml?
To share documents: HTML was created to help users share documents on
the Internet, so that any browser can read a basic HTML document.

To link to other documents: Hyperlinks use an internet address for the

related documents in the HTML code for the page. Clicking on hyperlink
either downloads the related material or views the document.
How do you open a Web page?
You can open a web page by entering a unique web address called a URL in
the address bar. For example, typing ‘www.oup.com/oxfordcsecforit’ opens
the support web page for the OXford IT Text. You can also use a search
engine to find a web page.
Did You Know?
In the early days, web pages were intended to only provide information for
education and the government.

Today however, new websites are being created and existing ones are being
updated and modified every day.
What is a Web site?
A web site can be a standalone web page or multiple web pages linked
together through navigational links.
Categories of Websites
Static Website- The content of this website remains generally the same and
in this way is like an online version of a paper-based brochure. Viewers
cannot search for content.

Example: https://www.atlassian.com/time-wasting-at-work-infographic
Categories of Websites
Editable Brochure Website: This website is the interactive version of the
brochure website. Content is stored as it is updated so that visitors can
search for and view past articles, web pages or other content.
Categories of Websites
Dynamic Website- Here a user can login and create new content, add
content, insert images and generally control what is viewed on the website.

Examples: Facebook, wikipedia, etc.

Categories of Websites
E-commerce Website- This is a website that is integrated to receive online
payments from visitors to the website.
Categories of Websites
A Web Application- web Apps provide push notifications and can be added
to a device’s home screen without having to download it from an app store.
Twitter Lite, Pinterest and weather apps are examples that push notifications
to the user’s phone or browser.
