Static websites is one of the best ways to keep websites small in size. Static websites is also a good way to begin a web developer´s career since knowledge about HTML and CSS is crucial for making dynamic and database driven websites.

Dynamic websites rely on databases and you as a designer need more than average skills to manage the website. Fortunately there are several Content Management Systems available for free. WordPress is such as CMS although many still consider WordPress as a blog platform and not a platform for creating larger websites.
