A static website is an already developed or written code which is done using (in this case Visual Studio Code (VSCode) ) There is no authorization or authentication to this static website. Everything is fixed unless one decides to change the codes
A static website is prepared by professional website developers and uses variety of syntax and codes that will be understood by the browser when launched. There is also another functional attribute known as CSS, which works with every website. Its function is to add colour and beauty to the website. A static website enables us to edit some elements and we can also customise. Of important note is the root folder, which enables us to effectively run and launch the website.
