INTRANET - WHAT IS A WEBSITE
WHAT IS A WEBSITE
A website is a collection of related web pages, including multimedia content, generally identified by a common domain name and published on at least one Web server (Weboneview.com, Amisduvieuxcalais.com ... are Websites).
A website may be accessible via an Internet Protocol (IP) public network, such as the Internet or a private local area network (LAN), by referencing a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) identifying the site.
Web sites can have many functions and can be used in different ways. A website may be a personal website, a corporate website, a government website, an organization website, etc.
Web sites are usually dedicated to a particular subject or purpose, from entertainment to social networks to information and education. All publicly available websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web (www), while private websites, such as a company's website for its employees, are usually part of an intranet.
Web pages, which are the building blocks of Web sites, are documents, usually composed of plain text interspersed with instructions for formatting Hypertext Markup Language (HTML, XHTML). They can incorporate elements from other websites with appropriate markup anchors. Web pages are accessible and transported using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which can optionally use encryption (HTTP Secure, HTTPS) to ensure the security and privacy of the user. The user's application, often a web browser, renders the content of the page according to its HTML markup instructions on a display terminal.

The pages
Websites are organized around different types of pages:
- Homepage: This is the page on which the user arrives after typing the 'domain name' of the Website. There is only 1 homepage per language. It usually contains the main menu.
- The Main Sections pages: These are the pages on which the user arrives after clicking on one of the menu entries. There are as many as menu entries, and languages. They usually contain more detailed information, as well as 'Links' to the detail pages.
- Sub-section pages: These are the detailed information pages of the Website. There may be some of them to a very large number.
