  Hi there. A blog is a website. The difference between a blog and a traditional website is that a blog is built around dynamic content (posts) while a traditional website is built around static content (pages).

  While WordPress.com is a blogging platform you can also use it to build a static website if that’s what you prefer. Keep in mind, though, that search engines give preference to dynamic content, so you might want to incorporate blog posts into your site, for example, in a Latest News section or something like that, to help drive up your search rankings and traffic.

  To have a traditional static site you basically have to publish the pages you want and then set a static page as your home page. This support doc covers the basics of building a static website: https://en.support.wordpress.com/making-a-business-website/
