Static Websites

A static website is the simplest type of website to build but it is often the most costly to maintain.  In a static site, website content is integrated into each and every HTML page.

If there is a need to change the content, the web page content must be changed and the page re-published.

Frequently, there is a requirement to display essentially the same content on multiple pages in a web.  For example, a list of products and services might be shown alphabetically on one page and grouped into categories on other.

Should the price of a product or service change, it is then necessary to update each page where that product or service appears and to re-publish those pages.

It is not only is labor intensive managing redundant data, it also increases the risk of error.

Given that the products, services and prices are normally maintained in a corporate database of some sort, it makes good sense to generate pages directly from a relational database (RDBMS).
