- A website is just that. A website on the internet, usually consisting of HTML, CSS, Images and Javascript.
- A startup is a venture to start a profitable company.
For a website to be considered a startup, there has to be some case where one could make a sound argument it will be able to make more revenue that it costs to maintain (and the incurred cost of building it)

Since this is getting upvoted, I'm curious how people make the distinction between a startup and a website.
My personal distinction:
- A website is just that. A website on the internet, usually consisting of HTML, CSS, Images and Javascript.
- A startup is a venture to start a profitable company.

Startups are substantial projects which primarily seek profit or growth.
"Websites" are typically small projects, without serious focus toward profit or growth.
