There are two types of websites: static websites and dynamic websites.
In the early days of the Internet, static websites were all that were available. Static websites require that you manually edit each file in order to update them. They are usually flat and boring, and most importantly, static websites make it harder for you to interact with your visitors.
Dynamic websites, however, are quite the opposite. They allow you save information to a database of some kind, then your web page pulls the data from there to output on your web site. You would also want to consider things like Contact Forms, Javascript, Comment Sections, User Logins, etc as dynamic.
Using a Content Management System (CMS) such as WordPress allows for much more interaction from both a user and an administration standpoint.
