WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT 2
USING HTML AND CSS
Computers connected to the network (Internet) are either servers or clients and communicate with each
other through networking protocol. The clients send requests to the servers and the servers respond
immediately with the required data. The server stores the files and information in the form of websites. Let
us read about website and web development in this chapter.
2.1 WEBSITE
A website is a collection of web pages that convey information about a specific company, organisation, or
product. It is a collection of linked content identifiable by a common domain name and published on a single
web server. A few examples of websites are cbse.nic.in, wikipedia.org, google.com, and amazon.com.
A website can be opened and viewed on a software called web browser. Some of the popular web browsers
are Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc.
Website Development
The process of building a website for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet is called website
development (a private network). A website can be developed in a variety of ways, from creating a single
static page of plain text to creating intricate web apps, online stores, and social network services. Web
engineering, Web design, Web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, Web
server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development may all be included in a more
extensive list of duties that are often referred to as Website development.
Languages used for website development
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets, and PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor)
are the most prevalent languages used to create websites. Some of them can be used as extensions to
existing languages, while others can be used totally independently to create dynamic or static websites.
