- 6. STATICWEBSITES In a standardwebsite (.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. Index.html Pages Sub-pages
- 7. DYNAMIC WEBSITES Instead ofstoring 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.
