What is the difference between a website and a web application?
The first thing to consider – “What’s the main difference between a website and a web application?” Well, the answer is pretty straight forward. A website is typically considered a set of web pages viewed with a browser. Basically, this is meant to be a static set of pages that provides viewers with information; it’s a brochure website with limited or no ways for viewers to interact with it. One way to look at it is that a website is like a big conference that everyone can attend, but they have to sit and listen to the speaker without any ability to interact.
On the other hand, we have web applications, which are interactive sites or those that rely on and provide interactive elements. These could be sites like Wikipedia or Facebook. The value of both of these examples is predicated upon user engagement; without it, neither application is very useful. Think of this like a networking event – people have to engage with others to provide value for everyone.

What is a Web portal?
A Web portal is a specially designed website that often serves as the single point of access for information. It can also be considered a library of personalized and categorized content. A Web portal helps in search navigation, personalization, notification and information integration, and often provides features like task management, collaboration, and business intelligence and application integration.

What is the difference between web 1.0, web 2.0 and web 3.0?
Web 1.0:
It is the “readable” phrase of the World Wide Web with flat data. In Web 1.0, there is only limited interaction between sites and web users. Web 1.0 is simply an information portal where users passively receive information without being given the opportunity to post reviews, comments, and feedback.
Web 2.0
It is the “writable” phrase of the World Wide Web with interactive data. Unlike Web 1.0, Web 2.0 facilitates interaction between web users and sites, so it allows users to interact more freely with each other. Web 2.0 encourages participation, collaboration, and information sharing. Examples of Web 2.0 applications are Youtube, Wiki, Flickr, Facebook, and so on.
Web 3.0
It is the “executable” phrase of Word Wide Web with dynamic applications, interactive services, and “machine-to-machine” interaction. Web 3.0 is a semantic web which refers to the future. In Web 3.0, computers can interpret information like humans and intelligently generate and distribute useful content tailored to the needs of users. One example of Web 3.0 is Tivo, a digital video recorder. Its recording program can search the web and read what it finds to you based on your preferences.
What are the features of an interactive website?
An interactive site is simply a site that allows visitors to interact with the content in some way. It could be as simple as a blog that allows comments and includes a contact form. Or it could be more complicated--such as an automotive site that lets you pick the features for your dream car.
