Website vs. Webpage

               What is a website? A website is a location connected to the internet that maintains pages on the world wide web. What does this mean? If the parts of the definition were broken down it could be understood easier. Having a location means that it has a url or address telling where to find it on the worldwide web. Being connected to the internet means that it can be accessed from around the world by searching the url. Maintaining pages means that it contains webpages. These parts are fundamental in having a website.
              What is a webpage? This is a hypertext document that is connected to the worldwide web. What exactly does this mean? It means that it was coded to be how it is and it may contain text, images, videos, or other forms of media. These are what are inside the websites. An analogy to put these 2 in perspective is that a website is to a webpage as baseball teams are to the Yankees. Although a website contains webpages, it is not limited to just one.
