the difference between “static” and “dynamic” website?
A static website is one that is written in HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) only. Each single web page is a separate HTML document and it is stored on a web server. There is no database that it draws on. What this means functionally is that the only way to edit the site is to go into each page and edit the HTML code. A dynamic site is written using more complex code and can do a lot more. For instance, you can have a Content Management System (CMS) added to it so you can change or add content yourself. Dynamic sites usually require more complex coding and therefore cost more to develop, but they can reduce ongoing maintenance costs significantly. When sites start to get very large or complex, dynamic sites make data management much more efficient.
