A website is a collection of web pages containing text, images, videos and other multimedia content. Webpages use languages like HTML and are hosted on web servers, accessible via URLs. The World Wide Web was created in 1990 by Tim Berners Lee and made free to use in 1993. Websites can be static, displaying the same information to all, or dynamic, changing frequently. Common types of websites include personal websites, photo sharing, blogs, social media, and e-commerce sites. Protocols like HTTP and languages like HTML and JavaScript power modern graphical websites.
