Static websites are the most primarily flat content that does not change or alter from visitor to visitor... Requires no special coding skills just the very basics in writing html code.

Festus Shoopala To the best of my understanding, A dynamic website is an interactive website. Example, you click on a button, and something happens, you double tap on a button and another happens, All these interactions between you and the website, makes it dynamic. Meaning it responds to change. However s static website is one that has no interactivity, meaning you can only view it, but can't interact with it. Finally you can simply put ,that a static website is one that is lacking Javascript, while a dynamic website is one that has been programmed using Javascript

Hi Festus Shoopala ! I can see why this can be a confusing concept and difficult to get a straight answer from search engines. In this case, I tend to agree with Дмитро Іванов . On a very basic level, there's client-side stuff ("front-end"), server-side stuff ("back-end"), and the wiring in between them. A dynamic site is generated server-side and assembled client-side. It's fairly easy to tell if a site is entirely dynamic because when you view source before clicking something and you view source after clicking something, the code looks entirely re-written. This can be an issue for bookmarking and SEO. A static site is one that has client-side code and will generally have a much more stable structure. An interactive site is one that adapts to user input. Reference: https://techterms.com/definition/dynamicwebsite I hope this helps clear things up a bit! :)

Static websites are sets of predefined html pages. They are all written by web-designer manually and can not change. Mistique is not quite right: static website can present some behaviour with the help of CSS and javascript - essential thing is that this behaviour is hardcoded into the page. Static website can have no backend logic on the server, only frontend. On the contrary, dynamic websites rely heavily on server backend. Usually there is a database, which stores a certain data and server logic composes the page for a user, based on this data. For example, a web-shop sites don't have a page for each item, written manually by web-designer, but just a template. The server script, using user's query, gets the info about the item from a database, puts it into a template and shows a user the resulting page. So blackwinter is not quite right too. A blog site is actually a dinamic syte. Because it has a database in which blog entries are stores and a template, which shows all or certain entries on the request.
