A static web site is one that is written in HTML only, meaning there is no database that it draws on. That doesn’t mean that it never changes, it’s just that changes must be made in an HTML software program. Most web sites that have product catalogs and an ability to accept credit cards online are dynamic. All the information actually resides in a database that updates the web site automatically. Dynamic web sites usually cost more to develop, as they require more complex coding and programming.
