From March 2017, there were about 1 billion websites[2]. Almost all of them are unique but we could imagine they fall into general categories.
Different types of web pages[edit]
While there are millions of web pages, we could fit them into loose categories.
| Type | Definition | Example |
| Personal page |
Could be a static or dynamic site where a person posts CV, information about themselves or links to projects. Personal site may have photographs of personal stuff. |
|
| Blog |
A blog (a truncation of "weblog") is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.[3] |
|
| Forum |
An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. They differ from chat rooms in that messages are often longer than one line of text, and are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes publicly visible. Forums have a specific set of jargon associated with them; example: a single conversation is called a "thread", or topic. A discussion forum is hierarchical or tree-like in structure: a forum can contain a number of subforums, each of which may have several topics. Within a forum's topic, each new discussion started is called a thread and can be replied to by as many people as so wish. Depending on the forum's settings, users can be anonymous or have to register with the forum and then subsequently log in to post messages. On most forums, users do not have to log in to read existing messages[4] |
