Web services are essentially websites for other programs to use.
You can make a site that has some information or service on it, the classic example is a stock ticker site. You publish information about stock prices on demand when someone requests them, but you do it in a special fashion that is easy for other programs to read.
Somebody else writes a program that connects to your site automatically to get the information you publish.
