Answer 1

Non Technical Answer:

Website: Is a site, which is designed with proper User Interface and with User Experience. It is accessed with a URL (address) and viewed only with the help of client browser. eg. www.facebook.com opened in firefox browser

Webservice is a service in which if its consumed, will receive data from a server/database. It is accessed using a URL and other parameters (if required) and it will not have any User Interface. eg. The data or info provided on a website would have been consumed or fetched with the help of a Webservice.

Answer 2

Also, Website is a url(server package/program) that is open/known/has-access to the end user(human user) for them to interact.

But webservice is a url(server program) that is(should be) accessible only by another program and the result from it, generally, is(should be) understandable only by the calling program..

A Website uses webservices & reacts based on the result from webservices at the presentation layer.
