A web page (or webpage, or simply page) is a document that is suitable for the World Wide Web and the web browser.

Description

A web browser displays a web page on a computer monitor or mobile device.

The web page is what displays, but the term also refers to a computer file, usually written in HTML or comparable markup language.

Web browsers coordinate the various web resource elements for the written web page, such as style sheets, scripts and images, to present the web page (see Web page layout).

Typical web pages provide hypertext that include a navigation bar or a sidebar menu to other web pages via hyperlinks, often referred to as links.

Static web pages

A static web page is a specific file on the server's file system, which the server sends without any modification, and which is not modified in any way by the web browser.

Dynamic web pages, web applications

By contrast, a dynamic web page is dynamic: it changes.

Dynamic web pages are generated by a web application that is driven by server-side software or client-side scripting.
