5. STATICVS DYNAMIC WEBSITES

6. STATICWEBSITES
In a standard website (.html based), a
developer/designer creates a template shell,
saves each individual page as a separate file,
and uploads the content. When an item
needs to be changed, it has to be changed
on the individual file and re-uploaded. If
you’re a small business with a small web-
budget, you don’t have resources to have
someone change a single word every time
you need one changed.

Sub-pages

7. DYNAMIC WEBSITES
Instead of storing the content in files, it
stores the content in a database. The
database is either stored on a different
part of the server, or sometimes on a
different server altogether. Whereas a
static page contains both structure and
content, the WordPress theme envelops
and wraps the content in the theme files –
meaning you can change, edit, delete,
and add new content using one set of
template files.
