Types Of Website

To be a web developer you need to know the basic rudiments of web development in this article I would give you some of the basics starting with:

Types of website

1. Dynamic website

A dynamic website is a site that contains dynamic pages such as templates, contents, scripts etc. In a nutshell, the dynamic website displays various content types every time it is browsed. The web page can be changed with the reader that opens the page, characters of consumer interplay, or day time.

Types of dynamic websites

Client-Side Scripting

Basically, client-side scripts produce client-side content. Thus, client-side content is originated on the client’s PC, but not on the server. In such cases, the customer’s browser loads the website’s content right from the server, treat the code included in a web page, and thereafter shows an updated version of content to the reader.

Server side Scripting

Server-side content is spawned while the page is loading. Therefore, web pages, that variate when a website is loaded, use server-side scripting. That means that websites made with the help of server-side scripting are generated at the moment when the user is downloading different webpages. The websites created with the help of such scripting are those created with the to) like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc.

Combination Scripting

Usually, modern dynamic websites combine the client-side and server-side scripting. The whole “new web space” is based on it because this method helps to make the server’s load time much shorter. Simply, there is no need to regenerate the whole page by the servers parser, just transmit a necessary content that is going to be changed.

2. Static Website

A static web page (sometimes called a flat page or a stationary page) is a web page that is delivered to the user's web browser exactly as stored, in contrast to dynamic web pages which are generated by a web application.

Consequently, a static web page displays the same information for all users, from all contexts, subject to modern capabilities of a web server to negotiate content-type or language of the document where such versions are available and the server is configured to do so.

Static web pages are often HTML documents stored as files in the file system and made available by the web server over HTTP (nevertheless URLs ending with ".html" are not always static). However, loose interpretations of the term could include web pages stored in a database, and could even include pages formatted using a template and served through an application server, as long as the page served is unchanging and presented essentially as stored.

Static web pages are suitable for content that never or rarely needs to be updated, though modern web template systems are changing this. Maintaining large numbers of static pages as files can be impractical without automated tools, such as static site generators. Another way to manage static pages is online compiled source code playgrounds, e.g. GatsbyJS and GitHub may be utilized for migrating a WordPress site into static web pages. Any personalization or interactivity has to run client-side, which is restricting.

Advantages of a static website

Provide improved security over dynamic websites (dynamic websites are at risk to web shell attacks if a vulnerability is present)

Improved performance for end users compared to dynamic websites

Fewer or no dependencies on systems such as databases or other application servers 

Cost savings from utilizing cloud storage, as opposed to a hosted environment

Disadvantages of a static website

Dynamic functionality must be performed on the client side
