Static HTML
→ Static or fixed websites are usually brochure type
sites where the content does not need to change
often or at all and where the number of pages is
typically low. Updates can be made but will usually
have to be done by a web developer or by someone
with a rudimentary knowledge of how to use html
and ftp.

Static HTML | Disadvantages

→ Potential difficulty in updating. Even a slight mistype
within the code could disrupt the layout or operation
of the web page
→ all pages need to be coded by hand
→ can only be changed by code changes
→ requires lots of lines of code, tags and parameters
→ Increased cost paid to a web developer for changes.
→ Search engine optimization - or SEO - will not favor
websites with static content over a similar site that
has its content regularly updated

Static HTML | Advantages

→ Lower development cost. Static sites are usually built

in a fraction of the time that a CMS will take.
→ Simple web hosting needs. Static sites do not
generally need a database to store their contents in
and can be hosted with your local cable company
which often gives around 5MB of space to users.

CMS
→ A CMS (Content Management System) is a dynamic
website which is designed to be scalable in at least
its content, and most often its features. The user is
empowered to update content at their leisure and
usually without any concern for breaking the
website layout as this is usually under tight control
of the CMS itself. Frequent updates can be made to
web pages, blogs, photo galleries and more. Drupal is
an example of a complete CMS, designed to be fully
scalable, adaptive and feature rich.

CMS | Disadvantages
→ Greater cost of development. As it takes much more time
to develop a database-driven CMS and as it usually
requires specific knowledge of a particular CMS, it will
require a greater investment. However, like is also likely
to result in a greater return on investment (ROI).
→ Learning Curve. To understand how to work with a CMS,
you will need to learn how it is structured so you can
control menus, naming, categories, etc.
→ Slower bandwidth customers may have a slightly longer
wait. Content Management Systems often include more
media such as images and dynamic content. This is
typically not a concern for most modern countries with
high speed access but it should be stated nonetheless.

CMS | Advantages
→ Extensive or full control over the content of your site
without the need for knowledge of HTML, CSS or
other web languages. Changes can be made at your
leisure.
→ Depending on what type of CMS you choose, there
can be a wide array of content types to work with
beyond just text, such as photos, audio, video.
→ SEO Friendly. Websites which update content on a
regular basis gain more of a spotlight from search
engines and will often rank higher in search engine
results (SER) pages which is an important
competitive factor for business websites.
