How does a “static” website differ from a “dynamic” one?

A static website is written in HTML and all the pages are separate
documents by themselves. There is no database that they draw on. The
only way to edit the site is by going into each page and edits the content. 

A dynamic site is one that is written using more complex codes. The
construction of each page is based on the information in a database
which can be changed via another interface A log in box can be created
in it through which one can change various parts of the site after he
has signed in, such as adding information or products. Dynamic sites
allow you to change the content without interfering with the design.
