What is a static website and why are they cheaper than dynamic site?
While millions of people still rely on the daily newspaper, it is the perfect example of a static media. Once printed, a newspaper can no longer be changed. It is out of date within seconds of being printed. Similarly, once a static website has been published it too will not change until the next edition; whenever the webmaster or someone familiar with HTML, or flash edits the content.
For this reason our static websites namely
StartUp Websites are cheaper then dynamic sites, because dynamic sites are built on our
content management system PixelPress, which allows content to be updated with great ease by our clients giving them full control over their site. Whereas a static site requires the client to contact us for changes to the look and feel of the site as well as the content.
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 or written 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 using 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 or webmaster may make updates, it is a manual process to edit the text, photos and other content and may require basic website design skills and software.
