Each electronic document is


called a Web page. Pages maybe
static or dynamic:

interval.

of a search or some other request. Also known as "dynamic HTML" or "dynamic
content", the "dynamic" term is used when referring to interactive Web pages
created for each user in contrast to the billions of static Web pages that do not
change.

documents and files. Each site is owned and
managed by an individual, company or
