One thing that you can guarantee when it come to the use of static websites is that they are affordable. There has been a lot of debate recently about the usability of static websites, with many people claiming that dynamic sites are the way forward, I disagree. The advantages of static sites outweigh the disadvantages; they are a lot more cost effective and they give you a quick turn around time to develop your site, they are also usually smaller in size than a dynamic site, which allows a client to utilise cost effective web hosting. The only main disadvantages of a static site is that they require a web development team to update them and if they aren’t kept updated the content on them could get old. The way in which a static site works is through its static design. A static site is a website that is written in straight forward HTML (Hypertext Mark-up Language). They have no database or content management system meaning that the only way to alter the sites content is to alter the web page itself. Static sites are the perfect website solution for many businesses and professionals who want their products and services available to a wider range of people via the Internet. If the main aim of your business having a website is to produce and distribute information that does not change frequently then a static site is ideal for you. For example if you are a solicitor or an insurance broker and you need to make information about your business available to the public so they can make an informed choice in relation to the services that you have to offer then you need the help of a static website. When it comes to getting your static website produced the design and size of the site can vary considerably depending on your requirements. Your static site could be simple yet informative or it could include more of a graphic design element. Whatever design you decide to use is up to you but just make sure you choose your design based on your business and not on just which one looks the best. As well as deciding the design of your static website you also need to settle on how many pages you want your website to have. The size of your static site can range from being a basic three page site, which normally consists of the pages home, about us and contact us; however your static website can be as big as you want it to be, going into having hundreds of pages. Static sites are also a good idea when it comes to search engines. This is because search engines are quite intelligent applications that filter and index relevant information that is then returned to people who initiate a search for specific words or phrases; basically meaning that content is key and you will get more of a chance in the search engines with a static site than you would with a dynamic site.
