Though it seems we live in a technical world but I have seen many still are unable to find considerable difference between any particular web page design and a
web application design. Both are spread all over the web and in mobile worlds, so are it necessary to learn it in detail. Started as a medium for scientists and researchers internet has developed to a level to become another mode of communication. Nowadays we can see number of business depends on internet and even many use to utilize search engines to find anything they look for. This is a clear indication of web being emerging as a basic need for life.
Let me explain in simple language major difference between any particular web page and a web application
Web page are those that are meant for showing any particular information in a static format, i.e. You have to update each time for showing different information whereas a Web application are those that itself is capable of answering your question by referring from their database. Hope this can help you to get better idea about both.
Applications was though developed with an intention of its use on graphical systems has later become an integral part of the web. A design especially for content or information focused may be called as a web page design. Whereas an application focused interface is usually referred to as web application design. Normally both share similar features by being heavily graphical and information rich. While it comes to web page structure of website, relationships of menus, navigation matters, whereas any web application is usually designed to collect and process data.
