Static Websites

When building a Static Website, developers use coding languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Since these websites don’t change dynamically, they show every user the same content. This allows for faster loading times, as well as being cheaper to host. A downside that comes with building Static Websites, is that updating your site becomes a lot harder now that you have to manually change the code for every page.

Dynamic Websites

With Dynamic Websites, developers use server-side scripting languages like PHP. This allows content to change dynamically for every user, or for a specific scenario. This does come at a cost, which usually includes higher hosting fees, and slower runtimes.
