Sites”
Static websites
A static website consists
of a series of HTML files, each one representing a physical page of a website.
So on static sites, each page is a separate HTML file. When you visit the
homepage, you are viewing the actual homepage file.
Even if two pages contain
a chunk of identical content (like a footer), they both contain two versions.
So, if you want to update the footer, you must do so twice, once on each page.
This is fairly
straightforward and it’s how all websites were built during the early years of
the world wide web.
Advantages of static
websites
- Quick to develop
- Cheap to develop
- Cheap to host
Dynamic websites
A dynamic website uses
server technologies (such as PHP) to dynamically build a webpage right when a
user visits the page.
Basically, what happens
is the user goes to a certain web address and the server finds a bunch of
different pieces of information that it writes into a single cohesive web page,
which is what you see.
Advantages of dynamic
websites
- Much more functional website
- Much easier to update
- New content brings people back to the site and helps in the search engines
- Can work as a system to allow staff or users to collaborate
Summary
Many sites from the last decade are static, but more and more people are realising the advantages of having a dynamic website. Dynamic websites can make the most of your site and either use it as a tool or create a professional, interesting experience for your visitors.
