Website

                 A website is a collection of web pages which are interlinked with each other. A website may contain
                 thousands of web pages.

                 Web Portal


                 A Web portal is a website that is specifically designed to provide a single point of access for information.
                 These are also known simply as portals. The major difference between a website and a web portal is
                 that a portal functions as a gateway to WWW and provides a variety of services. On the other hand, a
                 website may provide only some limited services.

                 navigational element, such as a button or an arrow. When you click on a hyperlink, you will jump to
                 the URL specified by the hyperlink. Hyperlinked text usually looks different from normal text on a web
                 page. It is often underlined but can be formatted in a number of ways.
