A website which is simply a collection of related web pages containing information accessible through an Internet address commonly known as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the most preferred way of seeking information on infinite topics. But it is a fact that the work of a web development company in designing a website is not as simple as accessing information. Have you her of the two terms â€Static†and â€Dynamic†in website development? Perhaps many of us accessing the information are not even aware what static or dynamic websites are. Believe me it is interesting to know about the two in the perspective of their advantages and disadvantages. Static website A website which has web pages stored on the server in same format in which they are sent to a client web browser is classified as a static website. Such websites are primarily coded in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Such websites display the same information to all visitors for a considerable long period. Such websites have the advantage of being flexible in the context that each page can be presented in a different layout. Besides this, the other advantage is cost effectiveness especially for a small company which looks for affordable web solutions. However, Static websites are not popular because the process of editing the text on static websites is manual and requires basic skills in designing and knowledge of the software. Not only this, the cost of maintaining such websites is considerably higher in the longer run. Since, such websites are to be manually edited lot training is required for developing the desired skill levels; this at times makes the experienced professionals indispensable. Dynamic website Dynamic websites can be changed much frequently and even automatically on the basis of certain criteria. In other words such websites provide web solutions of website automation. Advantage that are tagged with such websites include easy updating and addition of contents without the help of a webmaster, the crux being that website owners do not require extraordinary skills for maintaining their website. To add to this such websites have the advantage that they can be connected to the database where the entire information resides. The disadvantages of being more complex and not easily indexed by search engines are no longer valid with the development of search engines which have resolved the issue of indexing dynamic urls. The other disadvantage associated with such websites is high cost of development. In this era of dynamism, a web development company providing web designing services is under tremendous pressure to provide web solutions which ensure real time information. It has certainly gained enough experience and expertise with the changing times to provide able guidance to its clients that there does not stand any advantage tall enough to go for static website development. Even though dynamic websites are fast replacing the static ones, but the fact still remains that even today both types of websites are being developed and perhaps will remain to do so because of the specific needs of the website owners. The pendulum will definitely keep on swinging between web solutions for providing Static or Dynamic websites, but it is for sure that dynamic website development will get more ticks.
