A web application is a client-server application that which client runs in a web browser. The web application contains a set of web pages, scripts, images, etc. Web applications help organizations to grow their business.

Types of websites

Static Website: A static website contains web pages with fixed content. A static site can be built using HTML and hosted on a Web server.

Dynamic Website: The information on dynamic websites changes based on user interaction, the time zone, the viewer’s native language, and other factors. These pages include Web scripting code, such as PHP or ASP. When a dynamic page is accessed, the code within the page is parsed on the Web server, and the resulting HTML is sent to the client web browser. Dynamic websites can interact with the user, capable of accessing information stored on the database. Dynamic web pages are also known as database-driven websites.
