Don´t get confused.
Web site: all files/pages of a company (or private) URL.
In German there isn´t a corresponding translation.
Best would be Web-Site/Website or Web-Auftritt.
Web page: a single HTML file. German: Web-Seite.

In German these words should be spelled with hyphen
as they aren´t regular German words.

Regards,

Winfried
