A Static Website (sometimes called a flat or stationary page) is displayed in a web browser exactly as it is stored. It contains web pages with fixed content coded in HTML and stored on a web server. It does not change, it stays the same, or "static" for every viewer of the site.

A Dynamic Website (also referred to as a database-driven site) requires web programming and database design. A dynamic website contains information and content that changes, depending on factors such as the viewer of the site, the time of the day, the time zone, or the native language of the country the viewer). The content of your site (text/images) is stored on a database or content management system. When the information is updated or changed within the database, it changes on the site.

Static websites are the most fundamental kind of websites which lack custom coding and databases, and they are also relatively simple to create. Dynamic websites can present various content from the same source code, making them more active and sophisticated. Static is HTML with no custom coding and dynamic features, and no server-side scripting, only client-side such as HTML and CSS.

They are comfortable and cheap to develop and maintain, as there are no other skills bedsides HTML. There are no hyperlinks, pictures, or graphics, and the content remains unchanged. Dynamic websites include dynamic pages that are characterized by continually adjusting content that would be more efficient.

Something operators can interact with, not just read. It involves more than only client-side scripting for dynamic websites.
