Static sites send pre-built HTML files to every visitor, with content that does not change per user. Their main strengths are speed and low-cost security: no server-side processing and no database means fewer points of failure. They suit brochure and portfolio sites that rarely change, and they are easy to serve through a content delivery network (CDN).
Dynamic sites build each page on request using a server language and a database, which allows personalized content and updates through an admin panel without touching code. This fits shops and systems needing accounts, search, or user data. Their running cost is higher and they need more care for security and backups.
The hybrid approach combines both today via a headless CMS and serverless functions, delivering fast static content with dynamic elements where needed. At FastFree we deploy the backend (Frappe/ERPNext) with databases in Docker containers, while front-end views can benefit from caching.
The choice depends on update frequency and required functions more than on fashion.
