There are number of websites in the market. The choice of selecting static or dynamic website is critical and hence crucial. When compared changes to static website can be done only by persons who have knowledge of web development. Dynamic websites are used where content changes frequently on run time.
The brief explanation to get an idea to choose which type of website you require for your business or organization.
‘Static’ means informative sites, these websites once created, remain unchanged. In a static website each page is a detached article and there is no database to represent it. These types of web pages are written in HTML codes only. To make any corrections or editing on these kinds of websites you need to it with the HTML codes only at the back end of the website.They can only be edited with the help of template based and text editors or pay your web developer to make updates for you. Visitor can’t change content of website.(login registration will not be there). ex.W3schools
A dynamic website is written using more complex code — such as PHP or ASP — and has a greater degree of functionality. For instance, many dynamic websites can be controlled by a content management system. This means that you will potentially be able to make updates without needing any knowledge of HTML or any website software.
Each page of a dynamic website is generated from information stored in a database or external file. And the content management system that you may use to maintain your website directly modifies this stored information.
ex.facebook (Facebook is a dynamic website ,when ever we login,it will access the database to retrieve user specific information.)
