What is a website?

A website is really a collection of files that reside on a server and can be accessed through a browser (Internet Explorer,Mozilla Firefox,Opera,etc).

A person will normally type in an address such as http://www.example.com or www.example.com

Depending on the type of operating system of the server and the language used for the pages, the default page will be index.htm, index.html, index.php, default.asp, etc. This is normally the home page of the starting point of the website.

Navigation of the website should be user friendly and a user should know where they are easily. A common method to help the user navigate is the use of breadcrumbs, which give the user to see where they are related to the home page or "top" of the site.

Navigation of the site will usually be in the form of navigatin menus located at the top, left side, or both.

Each link to other pages of the website such be descriptive and give the user an idea of what the page is about.
