Static websites show you exactly the same information whenever you visit it. Static sites do not have to be like a simple plain text. They can feature detailed multimedia design and even videos. However, every visitor to that page will be greeted by the exact same text, multimedia design or video every time he visits the page until you alter that page's source code.
Dynamic websites are suitable to produce different content for different visitors from the same source code file. This type of website can show different content based on what operating system or browser the visitor is using, whether you are using a PC or a mobile device.
Anyway, dynamic sites are not necessarily better than  static sites.

I wish you to know that statistic websites display fixed content to all the users and this content cannot be changed from users to users. The difference between a statistic and dynamic websites is that the content of dynamic websites can be changed from user to user.

Static sites are the most basic type of website and are the easiest to create. Unlike dynamic websites, they do not require any Web programming or database design. A static site can be built by simply creating a few HTML pages and publishing them to a Web server.

A server-side dynamic web page is a web page whose construction is controlled by an application server processing server-side scripts. In server-side scripting, parameters determine how the assembly of every new web page proceeds, including the setting up of more client-side processing.

Static Web Pages:
Static Web pages display the exact same information whenever anyone visits it. Static Web pages do not have to be simple plain text. They can feature detailed multimedia design and even videos. However, every visitor to that page will be greeted by the exact same text, multimedia design or video every time they visit the page until you alter that page's source code.

Dynamic Web Pages:
Dynamic Web pages are capable of producing different content for different visitors from the same source code file. The website can display different content based on what operating system or browser the visitor is using, whether she is using a PC or a mobile device, or even the source that referred the visitor. A dynamic Web page is not necessarily better than a static Web page. The two simply serve different purposes.

Hello, I want to help you and find you the best explanetion !
Static and dynamic web pages are two different types of web pages. As the internet has expanded and millions of web sites are being added everyday, understanding the difference between static and dynamic web pages is crucial. Dynamic pages allow you to change it depending on data from other sources such as MYSQL databases. On the other hand static pages at all times stay the same except they are manually updated. Both pages provide a large source of information. A static web site will be completely written using HTML, unlike a dynamic website that is written with more complex codes including PHP or ASP. The main difference between static and dynamic web pages also occurs behind the HTTP server.
