Web sites means it is only some static informative pages and web application means user can some process using application and get a some results that is called a web application...
Another best example is a E-commerce portal, user can buying each and every thing from the web application also they can give a online payment..
a website is a static page that doesn't require much interaction to function. They are also more informative in nature. A web app, on the other hand, requires interaction from the user in order for something to happen.
A web app will require an input from the user and display specific data based upon the information that's recieved. A good example would be your bank's website. You provide your login information and your account information is shown. In some cases, you can even input new information to generate reports and other data about your spending habits.
Web site work passive you can read and write
Web application look more active it may help you edit a picture or draw a logo or convert some file formats and so on.
In a common end user perspective -
The answer is completely personal and subjective. A website is more like an informative collection of static pages while a web application is intended to perform certain business through user intervention.
For example, a news site would be a "website", but a spreadsheet or a collaborative calendar would be web "applications". The news site shows essentially the same information to all visitors, while the calendar processes individual data.
Most of the websites looks static in the front end, however that is driven by web applications called CMS from the back end.
In Microsoft Visual Studio Perspective -
Web application (projects) use Visual Studio project files (.csproj or .vbproj) to keep track of information about the project. This makes it possible to specify which files are included in or excluded from the project, and therefore which files are compiled during a build.
For web site (projects), all files in a folder structure are automatically considered to be included in the web site. If you want to exclude something from compilation, you must remove the file from the web site project folder or change its file-name extension to an extension that is not compiled and is not served by IIS.
