Compared to CMS, HTML pages give limited functionality which makes difficult for a developer to express himself. With CMS you have an option of making add-ons to your website and choosing from a wide range of functionalities. Using CSS files, you have an ability to control the design part of the site. With the help of more functionality, you can make your website more Search Engine friendly as you can have full control over the URL, title, Meta tags and every other aspect of the content of the web page.

Moreover, you can put any HTML site on a CMS but you cannot put any CMS on an HTML. If you have a small budget and updating or changing is not required in your website at regular intervals than HTML website is best suitable.
