What is the difference between a webpage and a website?

A website is a collection of pages linked together under a single topic or main idea. It is more broad in scope than a webpage, because it is covering an entire subject, organization, or idea. A webpage is a single page on a website. It is typically more focused on a singular topic than a website. It provides more specific information and is less broad. 

You can think of this like a book. The website is the entire book. The webpages are the pages within the book. 

Example:
The website for NPR is npr.org. It contains everything related to NPR, including news, podcasts, music, and more. The Billie Eilish Tiny Desk Concert on NPR is a webpage on the site. It is much narrower and focused than the overall website.
