There are fundamental differences between a [[static website]] and a [[dynamic website]]. A static website is far simpler to create, configure and manage. Novice [[webmaster]]s should logically start by making static websites, but they often begin trying to implement a dynamic site, through lack of familiarity with all of the alternatives.

The simplest form of [[static website]] is just a collection of [[static web page]]s, written in [[HTML]], and stored in the [[file system]] of the [[web server]]. These static web pages generally contain [[hyperlinks]], by which they point to each other, and are tied together to make a "site." The webmaster needs few skills beyond a rudimentary knowledge of [[HTML]] for formatting the [[static web page]]s, and of [[FTP]] for installing the files on the [[web server]].
