Website! What Does That Mean?
Web site is a collection of related web pages hosted on web server, accessible via a network such as the Internet.
A web page is a document, typically written with formatting instructions of Client side scripting ( XHTML css Javascript ), that is executed by the browser (i.e. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc.) that resides at the user computer.
A web page is a document sent by server side to the broswer, then it try to interpret its client side scripting to make you see it in the form of website, So when a server sends out a page, it executes server-side scripts, but does not execute client-side scripts. Once the browser receives the page, it executes the client-side scripts.

Client Side Vs. Server Side

Client side code is processed by the client (the browser to be more specific) while server side code is processed by the server.
HTML for example is parsed by the browser; the browser is responsible for taking that code and turning it into what you see in your window.
For the purposes of parsing web pages, there is a short list of the types of code the browser can deal with. A typical web page, as far as the client is concerned, consists of some flavor of HTML often supplemented by CSS, or JavaScript (an exhaustive list of the types of client side code is beyond the scope of this entry).

Server-side scripting is a web server technology in which a user's request is verified by running a script directly on the web server to generate dynamic web pages. It is usually used to provide interactive web sites that interface to databases or other data stores. This is different from client-side scripting where scripts are run by the viewing web browser, usually in JavaScript. The primary advantage to server-side scripting is the ability to highly customize the response based on the user's requirements, access rights, or queries into data stores.

From a security point of view, server-side scripts are never visible to the browser as these scripts are executed on the server and emit HTML corresponding to user's input to the page.
