        As far as in SEO or in general? SEO I cannot think of any really other than the ease of changing things. But then again that is the major benefit of having a dynamic site, you can change things easily. As far as static websites the major plus on them is speed if done correctly.

          If you are doing as per the standards, I don’t really think there is any difference when it comes to a static or a dynamic website but when it comes to functionalities obviously static websites are pain both for users and for webmasters where as dynamic websites are usually easy for the website owners who have no idea of codes and stuff.

          From the website visitor’s point of view I believe static and dynamic websites gives the same feeling but in most dynamic websites offer better interactivity and engagement as compare to the static one!

          Hope this helps!

            SEO there is no huge benefit but lets look at it a different way :

            user experience - at the end of the day that what we are all aiming to make great, if you have a great website that's great to use people will want to use it and fingers crossed share it. Dynamic sites are great because they fit into the users style depending on what resolution they have or how they have their window it lets them use your site as they want to.

            now that sounds great but obviously it can take a bit more time and knowledge to create a dynamic site but its worth it in the longer run.

            Best of luck !
