Their layout is different from standard manhwa - instead of individual pages, webtoons are posted as one long, scrolling page per chapter/ strip, with most being entirely in color. Every click still counts, even if the model isn't that of a personally owned project or business variety. Unlike Western Webcomics, this gives them a totally different funding dynamic, as, although they do not have publishers, as such, they are funded through the hosts. Korean webtoons are a subgenre of manhwa that are published exclusively online as Webcomics, usually on comic hosting sites such as Naver and Daum.
