Is a website with just a contact us form and a link to a backend server static or dynamic?

Question

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask.

I have an idea. My university website displays the same content to all users. There is no login to the system either. But it has a backend for contact us and admission forms. Does this mean the website is static or dynamic? I'm a newbie web developer so this distinction still confuses me.

I tried searching for the answer but some places said backend means dynamic. Some places say that the backend does not matter, what matters is whether the content is rendered on the client side or the server side. Even some similar questions on stackoverflow don't really answer this particular case.

Answer 1

Static means it won't change. Dynamic means it may change.

<h1>你好 StackOverFlow</h1>

Always show StackOverflow (static).

and

$name = "twalow";
<h1>你好 $name</h1>

The value of $name may change (dynamically).

So if you want to know if your website is static or dynamic, you may want to look at the code.
