You've got to be kidding! You actually think that building a huge site (your words) using static pages in 'basic html'? What would that accomplish? Security settings to limit scripts running? Good luck trying to find a setting that prevents php from running. You won't and the days of static websites are long gone. If you have ever had to try to maintaing a large static site, you'd know why.

Basic html is no longer very basic. From the early html with each browser writing their own rules through xhtml to html 5, the code base of html has changed dramataically.
