What is one difference between a web page and a web application? a). web pages provide information, while web applications allow the user to do something. b). web pages are written in code, while web applications are not. c). web pages are assigned an ip address, while web applications are given an html tag. d). web pages are colorful, while web applications are black and white.

So what’s the difference between a website and a web application? Not a lot…or everything. It’s mostly a matter of perspective and semantics and is largely opinion based. Even if you wanted to ask Wikipedia (and who doesn’t?), you’d get definitions for a web application and a website that sound awfully similar.

Most people will use the term website for just about everything, and they’re not wrong. If what you’re talking about is something that exists out on the internet and you get there with your web browser, then it’s a website. However, if you ask someone in IT, you’re just as likely to hear them describe something like that as a web application. If you asked ten different IT professionals to explain the difference between the terms, you’re probably going to get ten different answers, but in the opinion of this IT professional, the difference boils down to this:

A website is informational
A web application is interactive
To illustrate the difference, let’s take the example of a restaurant’s web presence. If you visit the site for your local Chinese takeout joint and find nothing more than the hours of operation, a menu, directions from the nearest highway or a static map, and contact information listed then you’ve got yourself a website.

Therefore the ANSWER IS A
Hope this helps xx
