Static websites:
A static website, as the label might suggest, is one that is not designed to change. Once the website has been designed, and the content incorporated in to the design template, each page will remain the same as the point where it is launched.
This type of website is best suited to the kind of business that does not have a large product inventory that it wishes to sell on-line, does not require a member's login facility, or does not need to have news/special offers added to the site over time. For example, a holiday cottage website might simply need a few pages that include details of the cottage, some photos of the rooms, a page giving 'how to find us' directions, and a contact form where visitors can inquire about making a booking.
(Note: a static website does not necessarily mean that you can't have any interactivity at all - contact forms etc. will often still be included.)
Dynamic websites:
A dynamic website is one that is written in a server-side scripting language of some sort, and crucially, can also interface with a database. The advantage of this is that it allows for any kind of data to be displayed and manipulated on your website. Below are just some of the applications that a dynamic website can be used for:
eCommerce: managing products, customer database and orders all on the one website Bookings: displaying real time information on availability, as well as allowing bookings to be added directly in to the system Forums: threaded discussion boards on any topic you wish Member's area: have members register, sign in and manage their accounts Read Full Story
