Open WEBSITE File

WEBSITE files are primarily associated with Microsoft Expression Web - a program by Microsoft for creating websites, web pages, and web graphics. A .WEBSITE file refers to a website shortcut file used by Windows operating systems to link to a website directly from the desktop or other file folders. These files have a .website extension, and this article will discuss possible formats, ways to open and use these extensions. For better understanding, we will be dividing the uses into different sections.

1. Usage in Microsoft Expression Web

Microsoft Expression Web essentially requires .website files. The software allows users to design their websites with its user-friendly interface. The .website files come in handy when saving ongoing tasks or marking shortcuts to frequently used websites. You may learn more about this from Microsoft's official documentation here.

2. Website Shortcut on Windows

Windows users might come across .website files when they drag the icon next to the address in the URL bar to their desktop to create a shortcut. A .website file is created in this process, which when double-clicked, opens up the linked webpage in your default web browser. You can read more on this in the official Windows Support Guide.

3. Website Development and Management

In website development and management, .website files could be used as storage units for files pertaining to the web engineering process. This could involve storing HTML files, JavaScript, CSS, images among others. A web browser, like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, is required to display the stored files when the .website file is opened.
