Static Sites
These are sites that are like an online brochure. They aren't intended to change very often and they don't interact with the visitor (allow them to subscribe, or leave comments or log on), they just display information.
They would have information on different aspects of your business and some photos most likely, and your contact information so people could reach you through your site. If you were updating it with a new page or something, you would most likely call your web designer to do it because there is no editing software attached to the website. These sites are just connected web pages.
