nettsted

Nettsted is a Norwegian term meaning a site on the Internet, consisting of interconnected web pages under a single domain. The word is formed from nett, meaning "net" or "the network," and sted, meaning "place." In contemporary Norwegian, the term is used alongside nettside to refer to a collection of pages that share a common domain. Bokmål and Nynorsk both employ the term, though regional and stylistic preferences vary. Nettside is often more common in everyday language, while nettsted tends to appear in formal, technical, or official contexts, such as government portals or IT documentation.

Nettsteder typically include a homepage and multiple subpages, media files, and interactive elements. They are usually structured with a navigation system and may be built with content management systems or static HTML. The content is organized into sections and pages and designed for access via a URL. Accessibility, responsive design, and search engine optimization are common considerations in their development and maintenance.

The terms hjemmeside, nettside, and nettsted are sometimes used interchangeably in common speech. Hjemmeside originally referred to a personal or corporate homepage, whereas nettsted emphasizes the broader site as a networked collection of pages. In practice, the distinction is fluid and depends on context and audience.
