What is Static Website?

[foxmind]

There are companies which require a website just to show their static content on the website that is not to be changed at regular intervals. This is termed as a static website.[/URL] This form of website has a simple display of company products and services or company events. It does not require much scripting and HTML coding like the other websites. The design look and feel can be changed as per the client’s preference. In short, it is just like an online brochure in an HTML format. These websites can be upgraded at definite intervals, if there is an increase in the number of products or services, or there are some changes required to be done to the content, or there is an addition required in the number of pages, etc. All such changes, can be done by our designers to give a new look to the website.

A static web page (sometimes called a flat page/stationary page) is a web page that is delivered to the user exactly as stored, in contrast to dynamic web pages which are generated by a web application.

A Web site that is static can only supply information that is written into the HTML and this information will not change unless the change is written into the source code. When a Web browser requests the specific static Web page, a server returns the page to the browser and the user only gets whatever information is contained in the HTML code. In contrast, a dynamic Web page contains content that a user can interact with, such as information that is tied to a database. The user can request that the information, such as ticket availability or airline flight data, be retrieved from a database.

A static web page (sometimes called a flat page/stationary page) is a web page that is delivered to the user exactly as stored, in contrast to dynamic web pages which are generated by a web application.

Consequently, a static web page displays the same information for all users, from all contexts, subject to modern capabilities of a web server to negotiate content-type or language of the document where such versions are available and the server is configured to do so.
Static web pages are often HTML documents stored as files in the file system and made available by the web server over HTTP (nevertheless URLs ending with ".html" are not always static). However, loose interpretations of the term could include web pages stored in a database, and could even include pages formatted using a template and served through an application server, as long as the page served is unchanging and presented essentially as stored.
