Description

Imagine the internet as a giant library, but instead of books on shelves, information lives on websites. A website is a group of related web pages, like pages in the same book, all connected and easy to reach online. It is a place where businesses show their services, people share ideas, and groups connect. You might visit one to shop for shoes, read the news, or learn how to bake a cake.

They have addresses called URLs, such as www.example.com, that help you find them. Some are simple and have only one page, while others are large and have thousands. Amazon, Wikipedia, and a band's official online page are all examples. In everyday English, this word usually means any place people visit on the World Wide Web.
