Static Website Design
Static Website Design
Static Vs Dynamic Websites (CMS) - what's the difference?
What are static and dynamic websites?
There are many static website designs on the Internet but you won’t be able to tell immediately if it is static, and the chances are, if the website looks basic and is for a smaller company, and simply delivers information without any 'bells and whistles', it could be a static website. Static website designs can only really be updated by someone with a knowledge of website development. Moreover, static website designs are the cheapest to develop and host, and many smaller companies still use these to get a web presence.
Below, we cite some of the advantages and disadvantages of both types of website designs.
- Quick to develop
- Cheap to develop
- Cheap to host
Disadvantages of Static Website Designs
- Requires web development expertise to update the site
- Site not as useful for the user or visitor
- Content can get stagnant easy
Dynamic website designs on the other hand, can be more expensive to develop initially, but the advantages are numerous. At a basic level, a dynamic website can give the website owner the ability to simply update and add new content to the site. For example, news and events could be posted to the site through a simple browser interface. Dynamic features of a site are only limited by imagination. Some examples of dynamic website features could be: a content management system (CMS), an e-Commerce System, bulletin / discussion / forum boards, intranet or extranet facilities, ability for customers or users to upload documents, ability for administrators or users to create content and to add information to a website (dynamic publishing).
- Much more functional website
- Much easier to update
- New content brings people back to the site and helps in search engine indexing and promotion
- Can work as a system to allow staff or users to collaborate in various ways
Disadvantages of Dynamic Websites
- Slower / more expensive to develop
- Hosting costs a little more
Many websites out there are still of static nature, but more and more businesses and individuals are realising the advantages of having a CMS website instead. We, at ITprosNET.com, strongly advise and encourage people to use dynamic websites, that can really make THE DIFFERENCE towards their competitors and can help create a truly professional and interesting experience for their online visitors.
