Differentiate Between Graphical User Interface and Web Page Design

Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are designed for specific devices and present information consistently through elements like windows and menus. Web page design has more variability due to different user hardware, browsers, and network speeds. GUIs focus on applications and organized data while web pages focus on navigating information from various sources. Navigation is simpler in GUIs while web pages rely more heavily on links between pages.
