15 Minute Series What is a web page?


In Summary:

A web page is a unit of information, often called a document, that is available over the World Wide Web. Web pages are created using HTML which defines the contents of a web page such as images, text, hypertext links, video and audio files, etc. HTML files are text files that have been saved with an ".html" file extension.

Web pages are sent and received through HTTP, a client/server based method used to transfer hypertext files across the Internet. Browser client software enables users to request web pages from an HTTP (web) server, and to view the requested web pages on their computer screen.
