What is the difference between a static website and a dynamic database driven site?

0

To understand dynamic web pages, we have to understand normal or in other words ‘static’ web pages. Typical static web pages do not change every time the page is loaded, nor do they change if a user clicks on a button. In a nutshell: Static web pages always look the same and their content never changes unless a new version is uploaded on the web server. Dynamic pages do the opposite, they can change every time they are loaded, and its content depends on the user interaction. One of the most common types of dynamic site is the database driven type. This means that you have a web page that grabs information from a database and inserts that information into the web page each time it is loaded. One common example is an online banking site where you can log in and check your bank account information. Your bank account information is stored in a database and has been connected to the web page with programming thus enabling you to see your banking information.
