If you're new to Web page design, this chapter will give you a brief overview of what you need to know to get started. In the most basic sense, the World Wide Web is a very large collection of pages stored on computers, or Web servers, around the world. Hypertext links make it possible for readers to move freely among these pages in any order they choose. It's this ability to link one Web page to other related pages that gives the Web its web-like quality.
Web pages are the individual files that make up a Web site.
A home page is the starting page for a Web site. It often has some sort of table of contents that allows readers to link to other parts of the Web site. Web sites are collections of Web pages that contain related information. The pages within a site are linked together so that readers can move easily among them. Web servers are computers that store Web pages and respond to requests from different browsers.
