Static versus Dynamic websites

Static: In the ‘Old Days’ we had to write Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) code.

Dynamic: Sites using databases to provide content.

Content Management systems

Lets you worry about the content not the design.  In some cases you would provide the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and never have to change them.  Other cases that’s already done for you.

Joomla – www.joomla.org
