Answer 1

thanks🙏🏽 Brain Oliver

Answer 2

A dynamic website is built using a serverside language that pieces together the CSS and HTML before being rendered to the client. So everytime the client makes a HTTP request a new webpage is rendered each time even though it looks the same. This can be done using Node.js, PHP or some other server-side language. Wordpress is powered by PHP and I think Wix is too but I'm not sure. Wix and Wordpress will create dynamic websites. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript will not create a Dynamic website, but rather a static website. Which means that the same file is given to the client ever time a HTTP request is made. So if the client wants the homepage the server will send the same file every time it is requested. Now HTML CSS, JavaScript in addition to a server-side language can be used to generate dynamic webpages. Popular examples are Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and PHP.
