Websites vs. Webpages

What is the difference between a website and a webpage?
   
      First of all, a webpage is a hypertext document connected to the World Wide Web. And a website is a location connected to the Internet by a server that contains one or more pages on the World Wide Web. This means that a webpage is only one page/document, and website is the site/location where all its pages are stored and to be accessed by a server. For example, W3schools is a website of web developing, and its main page is www.w3schools.com. When you open this page, then click a button in the main page, it takes you to another webpage. The page have changed, but you are still in the same website, and that is W3schools.

What is a storyboard and a site map?

      A storyboard is a graphic organizer that displays a sequence of images. The most common storyboard is made up by a few boxes of the same shapes, then it is filled with a sequence of drawings to tell a story or an idea.









      A site map is another way of graphically organizing all of the pages. It shows all the main pages on the top, and then on the bottom of that are the pages that follows that main page. Just at a glance, it look similar to a family tree.



Why do you need a storyboard and a site map when designing a Website?

      Drawing a storyboard and a site map is necessary when you are designing a website, because it helps you to organize almost all your ideas in a page, and it is easy to look and review your work in such formats. It is just like when you are writing something, you want to create key ideas in bullet points or a draft to improve and make the process much more organized and easier.
