Types of Website
- Static Website
- Dynamic Website
Static Website
Static website is the basic type of website that is easy to create. You don't need web programming and database design to create a static website. Its web pages are coded in HTML. The codes are fixed for each page so the information contained in the page does not change and it looks like a printed page.
Static websites are cheap to operate. HTML documents are created once and are delivered unmodified from then on. If a static website is used to provide timeless information, it is clearly more low-maintenance than a dynamic website. They are also a lot faster since the websites are loaded by the server without any changes. Static websites are usually cheaper to host because the server doesn't have any further demands to carry out apart from the storage option.
Dynamic Website
Dynamic website is a collection of dynamic web pages whose content changes dynamically. It accesses content from a database or Content Management System (CMS). Therefore, when you alter or update the content of the database, the content of the website is also altered or updated. Dynamic website uses client-side scripting or server-side scripting, or both to generate dynamic content.
Dynamic websites benefit from their flexibility. Due to the strict separation of web content and layout, content changes can be made by users without any former programming knowledge. A text editor is usually available. Dynamic websites also have the advantage of being able to react to user input.
