As the name suggests, this kind of web app is static and thus, simpler to develop than other types of web apps. Static web apps have only restricted content to offer in exchange for a small subscription fee. Such web apps can be easily built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. An example of this can be a blog that offers free and premium content.

When your web application promotes products or services directly to your potential customers, you can call it an e-commerce web application which is no different from an online shopping store.

An effective management panel is very necessary to look at all these tasks. Professional website developers can customize such applications to make them user-friendly.
