STATIC AND DYNAMIC PAGES; FIXED AND FLUID LAYOUTS

Static vs Dynamic

Static: These pages delivers the same  basic page layout and content to every user that is viewing the page. Often this is used as a visual placeholder for pages that are rarely updated called a splash pad.

Dynamic: One whose content changes over time or with each individual viewing experience. Pages can be changed by manual input for example, ( city, state, or postal). These pages are usually refreshed automatically to remain relatively constant.


Fixed vs Fluid

Fixed: A homepage of a website often has a fixed width and height in order to ensure the entire page is viewable within the desktop space of the average consumer monitor. The printing world already has a predetermined fixed width and height described in absolute units of measurement.

Fluid: A layout that fixes the potential dilemma of low resolution pixels by using percentages to define page size. Brower's scale the page to fit within the document window of whatever percentage is specified.
