Static Websites

I must admit that I did have to do a google search on this one to make sure I knew what I was talking about.

I found a site called Article Monkey with an article explaining the difference between a static website and a dynamic website.

If I am understanding correctly a static website is really easy to set up and is good if the information you wish to display does not change a lot. It is basically a lot of documents linked together so if corrections are to be made the site must be edited and then re saved. The sites don't seem to be good if you need to display large amounts of information of need a high level of interactivity.

Websites of this nature would be great for small business of personal use. In the realms of training they may be good as a tool for students but a dynamic website is probably more appropriate for a source or program base.

As a training tool, static websites have great potential as a student base. Students can take complete control of creating and maintaining a static website. Each student can take responsibility for a certain aspect of the website and each student can change and add to all aspects of it making it a truly collaborative online environment.
