What is the difference between a dynamic and a static web site?
A dynamic web site is one which is designed to have regularly changing content. A static web site is one where all the pages are worked out in advance, and don’t change. In technical terms, a dynamic website uses a database and server side scripting. You have template pages, which call content out of the database depending upon the situation. Bodu Web Design specialise in designing dynamic web sites, using a combination of php and MySql. A static web page is a simple html page, that is presented the same way each time it’s requested. What’s the difference in non-technical terms? A dynamic web site costs more to design and develop, but it is then flexible and can change and grow along with your organisation. A static web-site is cheaper and easier to design, but when it’s done, it’s done.
