Glossary / Static site

Static site

A static site is made of finished files that a server hands out as they are, with nothing built on the fly.

WordPress builds each page from a database when someone asks for it. A static site skips that. The page already exists, so it is faster and there is less to attack.

Static does not mean plain. Forms, chat and booking can all run as widgets that talk to a service elsewhere.

Every Think Bright page is static HTML. Your site is the file. The moving parts, like forms saving to records, run on ThinkBright's platform beside it.
