Web page

A Web page is a document that is suitable for the World Wide Web and can be accessed through a web browser. This document is usually written in HTML (HyperText Markup Language) or comparable markup language. Web pages are requested and transferred from web servers using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Overview

Web pages are the building blocks of websites. Each web page is identified by a distinct URL (Uniform Resource Locator). Web pages can contain a variety of information including text, images, videos, and interactive elements. They can be static, meaning they present pre-defined, fixed information, or dynamic, meaning they can adapt their content in response to user interaction or changes in the environment.

Structure of a Web Page

A typical web page is structured using HTML, which uses tags to define elements within the page. These elements include headings, paragraphs, links, and images. The CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) language is often used in conjunction with HTML to define the look and formatting of a web page.

HTML

HTML is the standard markup language for creating web pages. It describes the structure of a web page semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the document.

CSS

CSS is a style sheet language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in HTML. CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content from document presentation, including aspects such as the layout, colors, and fonts.

Dynamic Web Pages

Dynamic web pages are generated in real-time, often using server-side scripting languages such as PHP, ASP.NET, or JavaScript. These pages are capable of presenting different content for different users from the same source code file.
