Introduction

When it comes to building a website, one of the first decisions you need to make is whether to use a Content Management System (CMS) or a static website. Each option has its pros and cons, and understanding these can help you make an informed choice.

What is a Static Website?

A static website is one that is delivered to the user exactly as stored, without any server-side processing. This means that the content is fixed and does not change unless manually updated by a developer.

Advantages of Static Websites

• Speed: Static websites load faster because they consist of simple HTML files.
• Security: With no database or server-side processing, static websites are less vulnerable to attacks.

When to Use a CMS

If your website requires frequent updates, user interaction, or dynamic content, a CMS is the better choice. It allows for easy content management and collaboration among multiple users.
