The difference between a website and a web application?

A website is a collection of web pages that are connected to each other through hyperlinks, and can be accessed through a web browser using a URL.

Websites are primarily used for providing information, such as news, blogs, and business information.

On the other hand, a web application is a software application that runs on a web server and can be accessed through a web browser or a dedicated application. Web applications are interactive and can provide features and differences like user authentication, data processing, and complex functionality, such as online shopping, and social networking.

In summary, websites are primarily informational, while web applications are interactive and provide functionality beyond simple information dissemination.
