What is the difference between a dynamic and a static site?
in computer terminology, dynamic usually means capable of action and/or change, while static means fixed. Both terms can be applied to a number of different types of things, such as programming languages, Web pages, and application programs. When a Web page is requested, the server where the page is stored returns the HTML document to the user’s computer and the browser displays it. On a static Web page, this is all that happens. The user may interact with the document through clicking available links, or a small program (an applet) may be activated, but the document has no capacity to return information that is not pre-formatted.
