Need of websites
Today, most of the people spend their most of the time on the Internet. Most of the activities we perform using the
Internet or online, are performed with the help of the websites. Websites have become a necessary part of our society and
our daily lives. These websites are the platform where we do most of our daily important commercial or other tasks. Some
of our daily activities that websites help us to perform are provide information, help learn or study online, watch videos,
watch movies, play games, connect with each other, etc.

Websites are built with a specific purpose in mind, such as business, education, media and entertainment, or social
networking. It might be the work of a single person, a business, or another organisation in public interest or for personal
purposes. It allows you to communicate with people all over the world at any time and from any location, regardless of

Types of Website
Static Dynamic
Static Website
The most basic type of website is a static website, which is simple to develop. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are used to
create the website. Each page’s codes are fixed, therefore the information on the page remains constant and the page
appears to be printed. These websites show the same information to all visitors. The website owner has the authority
to make any modifications. Text, photographs, and other information must be edited manually, which may necessitate
the use of basic website design software and abilities.
Features of Static Website
Some of the features of the static website are as follows:
Ð ÐSpeed: Faster loading time.
Ð ÐFlexibility: Static sites can be rendered in a variety of frameworks, which gives them a lot of flexibility. Developers
can use the language and framework of their choice (such as JavaScript).
Ð ÐScalability: A static site allows you to distribute content across numerous channels without having to rewrite it.
A static structure can also quickly adjust to your website or app’s changing needs.
Ð ÐSecurity: In a static website, the content database is separate from the front-end web interface. This configuration
reduces the number of entry points for hackers and increases the security of the data.
