A Web page is a type of document that makes up a website. Web pages are HTML documents that are uploaded to the Internet. Combined, these pages create a cohesive website. Typically, one Web page links to another page or another site. It is necessary to use a Web browser to view Web pages, because Web browsers translate the HTML into a readable and recognizable format for the average user.

    Types

  1. Web pages are separated into four main types: business, community, information and personal. Business Web pages promote a specific company or service. Community Web pages seek to create a social network amongst visitors. Information Web pages provide resources to the visitor. Personal Web pages usually contain self-expression or self-promotion.
  2. Features

  3. All Web pages feature stylized information about a specific topic. Commonly, Web pages include content and graphics, along with links to other pages in the site or to other websites. Some Web pages include embedded music or videos. Web pages are coded in a hypertext markup language, also known as HTML. HTML is a list of appearance commands communicated to the Web browser, and is not usually visible to the visitor. The visitor will see the end results of the HTML-browser communication.
