subsites

Sections within websites

Subsites are sections or subdivisions within a larger website, often with their own distinct content, design, or purpose while remaining part of the parent site's domain.

A company might create subsites for different departments, regions, or products: The marketing team maintains their own subsite.

In content management systems like SharePoint, subsites function as nested containers for organizing related pages and documents.
