What are web pages?

A web page is like a special kind of letter that lives on a computer and can be read by anyone with an internet connection.

Imagine you have a notebook full of drawings and stories. Each page in the notebook has its own picture or tale. A web page is just like one of those pages, but instead of paper, it uses something called code to make pretty pictures and fun things happen when you click on them.

Think of a web browser (like Chrome or Safari) as your magnifying glass for reading these special letters. When you type in a website’s address, like www. example. com, your computer sends a message asking for that page. The internet helps deliver it to your screen, just like a mail carrier brings a letter from your friend.

Web pages can be simple or super fancy:

• Some have only words and pictures.
• Others let you play games, watch videos, or even talk to friends around the world!

Every web page is made with code, which tells the computer exactly what to show, just like a recipe tells a chef how to make a cake.
