If you have understood the static web page then you will understand it very easily. Because Dynamic web page content always changes. Here every user means that the page you open will be something else for me. Like when I login in fb, my page will be quite different from your fb page.

Dynamic means variable or changable, which changes the page frequently. Likewise, take an example, the pages of shopping sites also keep changing for every user. Because you must be doing some search but I can OPEN the page to do some more page shopping. Both of these are very good examples of dynamic webpage.
