Webpage and Website:
A web page or webpage is a document commonly written in HyperText Markup Language (HTML) that is accessible through the Internet or other network using an Internet browser. A web page is accessed by entering a URL address and may contain text, graphics, and hyperlinks to other web pages and files.
Website: A website is a collection of related web pages on world wide web and can be accessed by using a specified URL (Uniform Resource Locator). For example, http://www.facebook.com
