Development of static websites

Developing static websites is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to create an online presence. A static website is one that does not have user interactivity, that is, there are no forms, login, registration or other dynamic features.

To create a static website, it is necessary to have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. HTML is the markup language used to structure the website content, while CSS is responsible for the visual presentation and JavaScript can be used to add interactivity.

One of the main advantages of a static website is its simplicity. As there is no interactivity, the development process is faster and easier. Also, a static website is lighter and loads faster, which is important for the user experience.

However, a static site may have some limitations compared to a dynamic site. For example, it is not possible to create a login system or a members area on a static website. Additionally, updates have to be done manually, which can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.

To develop a static website, you can use tools such as Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Visual Studio or Sublime Text. You can also use platforms like GitHub Pages or Netlify, which allow you to host static websites for free.
