Websites and Web pages

Information on the Internet is shown on the screen as pages, just like in a book. These pages are created by people all around the world and stored on their servers to allow others to access them.

Anyone who has access to the World Wide Web can publish their own pages. Individuals and organisations often publish a cluster of pages and store them together. This is known as a website.

The first page in a website is called the home page. This page normally contains information about who has published the website and acts as a link to the other pages.

Each website and every page within it is accessed by means of a unique address. Let's look at how these work.
