A static website is primarily developed in html or xhtml and web pages stored on the server in the format that is sent to a client web browser. Static website is a simple form of websites, such as a five-page website or a brochure website because they present pre-defined, static information to the user.A static website may include information about a company and its products and services via text, photos, Silver light or Flash animation, audio/video and interactive menus and navigation. The maintenance of a static website is easy as the website owner may make updates periodically; it is a manual process to edit the text, photos and other content and may require basic website design skills and software.
ADVANTAGES OF A STATIC WEBSITE-
There are a number of advantages of static websites over a dynamic, content managed website:
• Less cost involved
• Simpler to create and host
• Handy management
• Quick to download on lower bandwidths
The basic disadvantage of static website is the content like text, graphic, and multimedia content are usually stored in HTML pages and not in databases. Changing the content on multiple web pages will be tedious and time-consuming. There is also the risk of file overwriting and the possibility of important non-content areas like security code of the site getting corrupted. All static website owners have to be abjectly dependent on web professionals whenever any changes become necessary.
