<div align=justify> Often, the terms 'website' and 'blog' are mixed up. They both look and operate almost in the same way. Because of this, many people cannot tell the differences between them. However, both are unique in a way and have different functions. Below we'll list the things that differentiate a blog from a website:

* '''''Structure'''''

Websites have more complex structure then blogs and may require a bit more technical skills to create. Websites provide more flexibility as you can easily change any thing on them. Blogs are easier to create, generally they are designed with the help of templates. Building a website requires basic knowledge of  html, AJAX, PHP, Java and other technologies. 

* '''''Formality'''''

Websites are more formal than blogs. The main purpose of creating a website is to market products and services. The target audience of a website is potential customers or buyers while blogging is more personalized.

However, in recent years, blogs are used for the same purpose (i.e. for making money on-line).

Flexibility is achieved by choosing a specific topic by a blogger. Unlike blogs, websites are generally more focused and use a business tone.

* '''''Features'''''

Blogs are just one of the numerous subtypes of a website and include a lot of the same basic features. However, these blog features are integrated into every page, i.e. when you make a change on one page, it will appear on all pages.

* '''''Maintenance''''' 

Blogs are considered easier to maintain. One of the main reasons for that is that when you make a change to one item in your template, it updates all items in the blog. When making changes to website, you may need to make many separate changes to get the result wanted. Websites are much more flexible in this regard.

Generally, websites are built for businesses, to sell products/services and invite new clients. Blogs are created by individuals to share their thoughts, opinions, and ideas to others. Comments and feedback allow bloggers to interact with their readers. Nonetheless, it is possible to make money with both.

Websites and blogs are interchangeable notions. One can create a website and include a blog in it.

Having a website makes an impression of professionalism and creates a business-like atmosphere. This encourages trust and lets people know that you are a well-established company.</div>
