Static websites have key advantages over CMS-based sites like WordPress, including:

1. Faster Load Times: Static websites don’t rely on databases or server-side processing, resulting in quicker load times. Pages are served as pre-built HTML, which makes them much faster than dynamic CMS sites that generate pages on the fly.
2. Better Performance: Static sites are lightweight and require fewer server resources, which translates to better performance and scalability, especially for high-traffic sites.
3. Security: Static websites are less vulnerable to attacks, as they don't rely on complex server-side processes, plugins, or databases, which are common targets for hackers in CMS platforms like WordPress.
4. Simpler Hosting: Hosting static websites is easier and cheaper. You can host them on simple, affordable services like GitHub Pages or Netlify, with no need for complex server setups.

Disadvantages of static web design

• Less Flexibility: Updates and changes require manual coding, which can be limiting for larger projects.
• No Built-in CMS: Non-technical users may need assistance for content updates.
• Limited Dynamic Features: Adding advanced functionality like e-commerce or real-time updates takes extra effort.
• Maintenance for Large Sites: Managing many pages can become time-consuming without automation tools.

Despite the limitations of static web design, CMS sites also require developer support for maintenance and updates. At StaticBoost Designs, I handle everything from A to Z—maintenance, content management, and new features—so you can focus on your business while I manage the technical details.
