A web form produces a web page. Or many web pages. A web page is just a loose concept of a "document". A web form is a type of object which can produce web pages.

Adding to your answer, suppose you want your webform to have 3 webpages. How do you add new webpages to your webform in MS Visual Studio 2012. Thanks – Dec 03 '14 at 10:02

WebPage is a document / information resource that is rendered usually as HTML/XHTML on World Wide Web and is accessed through Web Browser.

Whereas, Web Form is a document where you can design and develop the Web Page, Web Form usually provides features which can enable a user to develop a Web Page.
