An interactive website engages users beyond reading text and viewing images. It can be achieved through various software and methods, allowing users to manipulate content, play games, and perform activities. Software used includes features for animations and image manipulation. Interactive websites are used for educational, entertainment, and social purposes.

An interactive website is an Internet page that uses various software to create an interactive experience that allows the person viewing the web page to actively engage with the site. This can be done for a variety of reasons and using various methods and software to achieve this interactivity. An interactive website can be virtually any website that allows users to go beyond just reading text and viewing images. Instead, this type of website may also allow the viewer to change the way the website is displayed or allow the user to play games and perform various activities.

In general, an interactive website will use the standard graphical user interface (GUI) found on all websites to create interactivity with the viewer. For example, a website that displays the weather forecast for an area may simply allow a user to type in their location and then show the weather details for that region. While technically this is interactive, as it allows the user to enter their own information, this would be a fairly insignificant level of interactivity.

A fancier interactive website might allow the user to enter their location and also enter a particular year or day and display the weather for that time period. This may allow the user to better understand weather patterns and trends recorded throughout history. An interactive website could also display an image of the Earth, perhaps represented as a three-dimensional rendering, and allow the user to interact with that globe. The website may display the weather for different countries and allow the user to zoom in on specific regions or move and manipulate the globe to see various parts of the world and quickly view the weather in those areas.

Several types of software are often used to create an interactive website, although the programs usually include various features to display animations or allow the user to manipulate the images that appear on the page. This can be used for educational purposes, entertainment and a number of other reasons as well, including attracting more users to a particular website. There are scientific websites that allow the user to explore the various structures of different plants and animals, at the cellular and microscopic level, as well as sites that can be used to better understand the size of the universe. An interactive website can also be used to allow users of a website to play games or interact with friends online.
