Static Website
A static website is one that has web pages stored on the server in the format
that is sent to a client web browser. It is primarily coded in Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML).
Simple forms or marketing examples of websites, such as classic website, a
five-page website or a brochure website are often static websites, because they
present pre-defined, static information to the user. This may include
information about a company and its products and services via text, photos,
animations, audio/video and interactive menus and navigation.
This type of website usually displays the same information to all visitors.
Similar to handing out a printed brochure to customers or clients, a static
website will generally provide consistent, standard information for an extended
period of time. Although 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.
In summary, visitors are not able to control what information they receive via a
static website, and must instead settle for whatever content the website owner
has decided to offer at that time.
