A static website is a type of website that delivers content in the form of fixed files stored on a server. Unlike dynamic websites, which generate pages on-the-fly, static websites serve pre-rendered HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files directly to the user’s browser. Here’s an overview:

Key Features:

1. Predefined Content: Pages are fixed and do not change based on user interaction.
2. Fast and Lightweight: Since the content is pre-rendered, static sites load faster than dynamic ones.
3. Hosting Simplicity: Can be hosted on any web server or static hosting services like GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel.
4. No Backend Dependencies: No database or server-side processing is required.
5. Secure: Lack of server-side processing reduces the risk of security vulnerabilities.

Use Cases:

Personal blogs or portfolios

Documentation sites

Event or promotional websites

Basic business or informational sites

How to Build a Static Website:

1. HTML: Write the structure of your site.
2. CSS: Style your site.
3. JavaScript: Add interactivity (if needed).
4. Static Site Generators (Optional): Tools like Jekyll, Hugo, or Gatsby can automate building static websites.

Example Structure:

/index.html (Main webpage)
/about.html (About page)
/css/styles.css (CSS for styling)
/js/scripts.js (JavaScript for interactivity)
/images/logo.png (Images and media)
