Thread: Static vs Dynamic Websites - Differences

Differences between static and dynamic websites.

Change website
Static websites are static in nature. To make any changes to them somebody need to change the code.

Dynamic websites, if coded, might not need code change to change parts of the website. There might be CMS developed to change them(not always).

Cost
Static sites are quite cheaper compared to dynamic sites.

Computing Power
Static websites have very limited computing power. Only the client side script like JavaScript can do very limited stuffs.

Dynamic websites might have all the computing power.

Thanks.. how about how search engine rate/spider them? any idea

Hello Friends...

Static Website are

• Quick to develop
• Cheap to develop
• Cheap to host

Dynamic website are

• Much more functional website
• Much easier to update
• New content brings people back to the site and helps in the search engines

That's a nice differentiate between dynamic and Static websites.

I prefer static over dynamic websites because they are easy to SEO.
