The World Wide Web, or simply the Web as we commonly call it, is made up of websites, and in turn, web pages. Usually many people get confused with these two terms. The explanation is simple; a website is actually a set of web pages.

Example: Gulupa Digital has a website that can be visited at the following address: https://gulupadigital.com/ and each link that can be consulted within this site represents a web page.

These can be used by public and private institutions, organizations and individuals to communicate and/or transmit information at a national or international level.
