In general yes. The exception is, when you really *are* dealing with a
large database and use HTML to present its content. See

Also look at (picking one at random):

Arguably it would be far better to have one single PHP page inserting
the different images as required instead of generating hundreds of
nearly identical static pages through local scripts and uploading them
all. Think of finding one typo.
Case one: Edit one single page, done.
Case two: Edit one template, regenerate hundreds of pages and uploade
them all again.

I don't as yet (simply using someone else's Wordpress template is not
knowing and being able to do it myself). But it would be worth learning.
