In my current job, I've built a number of static, mobile-first, single-page websites.
Generally, these sites embed event live streams from YouTube and highlight social media. These sites don't really render on the client (unless you count the iframe
embeds) and I'm not using any particular frameworks to build them--sometimes not even jQuery. I'm sending mostly finished, plain ol' HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
So what do I call them on my résumé? Keep in mind that most reading it will be managers and marketers, not developers or engineers who know the lingo.
I dislike the terms "static website" or "flat pages" because they seem to imply something, well, stationary.
The terms "client-side website" and "single-page application" seem to imply more "app"-like functionality (and client-side rendering) than I'm providing.
A colleague suggested "micro-sites." The best I can come up with is "single-page sites." Otherwise, "static sites" seems to be the most used, and it's easily Google-able for anyone unfamiliar.
What do you think?

... but if this is the widely accepted term, then why not go with it ? If I'm in the know, it wouldn't matter what it sounds like to non-tech people. – Adel May 14 '15 at 17:26
