The difference between 'static' and 'dynamic' web site

Static Web Sites
Changing the content of static sites is difficult since text, graphic, and multimedia content usually reside in multiple files (i.e., HTML pages), not in databases, making it cumbersome to change content on multiple Web pages at once. Also, attempting to change a static site Web page could lead to file overwriting or corruption of important non-content areas of the site, such as security code or navigational sections.
Web professionals are usually the only people who can format and control the content on static sites. If business users were allowed to make changes, they might accidentally use a format that was inconsistent with the Web site’s standard format. Finally, “workflow delays” often occur on static sites while content contributors wait for help from technical staff.

Dynamic Web Sites
Every web site, which is made with an easy-to-use, quick-to-implement Web management system, based on a flexible, open architecture is dynamic. These module-based websites effectively limit the cost of maintaining a professional, database-driven interface. 
Your dynamic web site works the way your business works. You can deliver relevant content to help your users meet their objectives in time.

Companies store the content in a database and use a Web application server to generate Web pages “on the fly.” The combination of a CM solution with a dynamic Web site empowers business users by putting a workflow and publishing process in place using standard network components. They can see and evaluate changes as they make them. Web site administrators assign user privileges (e.g., create, edit, delete, restore, view, publish) across sections of the site, while enforcing a standard Web site look and feel. The transition from a static site to a dynamic site involves a one-time integration process with a systems integrator or a Web developer managing the process. After the transition is made, ongoing maintenance will be necessary.
Dynamic Web sites with CM solutions let employees and other contributors change text, graphics, audio, or video content whenever and wherever necessary, and in most cases, while using a standard Web browser. In contrast, static Web sites without CM solutions tend to change infrequently. Coordinating a manual updating process is difficult when contributors and Web professionals work at different locations with different schedules.
Updating content is faster on a dynamic Web site than on a static site for two reasons: First, non-technical business users can add or modify content without waiting for “frazzled” Web professionals to get around to it. This common bottleneck disappears because employees in all departments can create new material and then update Web content themselves. Second, business users don’t have to learn HTML or other Web scripting languages. They only have to be familiar with a Windows TM -like toolbar and a common Web browser interface.
