Seitehtmls

Seitehtmls is a term used in German-language web development to describe a collection of HTML documents that together form a static website or a subset of pages. The word combines Seite (page) with HTML and adds the plural suffix -s, reflecting its status as multiple HTML files rather than a single document. The term is not tied to a specific framework and can appear in documentation for static sites, content exports, or simple page archives.

Typical usage refers to the output produced by static-site workflows, content exports from headless CMS, or manual page creation. A set of seitehtmls usually includes an index file that serves as the homepage, along with individual HTML files for other pages. These files are commonly accompanied by assets such as CSS, JavaScript, images, and fonts, organized in directories for maintainability.

Technical characteristics include independent HTML documents, straightforward URLs, and predictable hosting requirements. Even when shared components exist, the HTML pages are still independent pages, which can be beneficial for performance and accessibility but may require duplication of structure unless a templating approach is used during generation or build.

Advantages of working with seitehtmls include simplicity, wide compatibility with hosting environments, and good search engine performance when properly structured. Limitations include the lack of built-in server-side logic, potential maintenance overhead without automation, and the need for external tooling to generate or manage the pages effectively.
