Web Design




The difference between a website and a webpage is that a website is that a website is a collection of one or more web pages that are designed to convey information on something to a web user. A web site can used by companies to provide information about them.


 
While, a web page is one screen full of information from a website that contains links to other pages within the website or to external information. The web page is written as an html document. Basically, a web page is an individual page and a website is a collection of webpages.




A site map is a list of pages of a website accessible to users. It can be in a document or any other form used as a planning tool for a website that lists all the pages on a website, typically organized in a hierarchical way. As you can see above in the image, all of the pages that will be on a website are listed and it tells where the pages will be located. The importance of a site map is to help a web designer plan out where the pages will be located on the website. In addition, it will help a
                                                                                       web designer to show their client
                                                                                        how the website will be organized.


A story board is a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions, representing the outline for a website. As you can see in the image below, you can see how the pages in that website will look like. The importance of a story board is to have a rough draft of how a website will look like. Instead of having to make a website for their client and having to go back and change everything, they can just show their story board before beginning to start designing their website. It is a good idea because they can change anything their client doesn't like or add something their client might want in their website. It saves a lot of time and money because it helps create a visual plan for a website.
