What is a Static
Website?
This is a website that its content can only be changed by the web developer. A Static
Website can be seen as an online brochure or catalogue. It is usually used to provide some company information, a
description of the products or services that you offer and some contact information.
What
kind of business needs a Static Website?
The main factor to help you decide whether a Static Website is the
ideal web solution for your business is if the information you want to put online will not change for a long period.
This means that you will rarely see information like Company News & Announcements, Special Offers,
Latest Event, Client List, Featured Project, Special Offers and much other information that needs regular updating on a
Static Website.
What are the advantages of a Static Website?
- Can
be developed fast when small
What are the disadvantages of a
Static Website?
Static Websites are susceptible to
errors
It is very difficult to keep a static website error-free, because the larger the website becomes, the more
difficult it is to maintain it and you end up having dead links or other errors on your website.
The information becomes obsolete and outdated
There comes a point where the information
on a Static Website does not reflect on the current state of the business. This might result in damaging a company
rather than helping it.
Static Websites are expensive to maintain
Since
information will start becoming obsolete you will want to start updating it. Each update will require you to go back to the
developer and since there is always development involved in updating a Static Website, you will get charged each
time.
The initial investment for a Static Website can be higher than a Dynamic
Website
From a certain size and above, a Static Website can cost more than a Dynamic Website to develop, because
the cost for a Static Website is usually calculated on a per page basis.

not give you a helping hand in achieving any of the above. In other words, Static Websites give you little to none Return On
