That is a static page.

It's built using Meteor, and the page is constructed on the client. You can determine this by right-clicking the page, and selecting "View Source" in most browsers.

If you're having trouble with this, see this guide: http://webdesign.about.com/od/chrome/a/view-source-chrome.ht... as an example.

Once you see the HTML source, scroll to the area where the body tag is found. You'll notice the lack of any static content:

   <body>
   </body>

Or did you mean something else by static page?

I know how to view-source, thankyouverymuch. All I saw in my network panel is calls to analytics scripts, it appears I was mistaken. (Unlike a simple view-source, the inspector shows the rendered DOM)

Odd way to go about hosting a static page. :0)

Ah perhaps you mean static content then. I agree it is an odd choice for hosting static content (I'd go the static site generator route myself), but in the case of Meteor's website, I don't blame them for eating their own dog food. It helps to validate (and even test) the framework on a highly-trafficked site.
