What is the difference between a "static" and a "dynamic" site?A static site is one that is written in HTML only. Each page is a separate document and there is no database that it draws on. What this means functionally is that the only way to edit the site is to go into each page and edit the HTML - so you'd either have to do it yourself using a webpage HTML editor or hire someone to go in and edit the site each time you wanted something changed.

A dynamic site is written using more complex code and can do a lot more. For instance, one of the systems we install allows the owner or operator easy access to edit images and text throughout the website.

Dynamic sites can reduce ongoing maintenance costs if you don't want to change things yourself with an HTML editor. Dynamic website usually cost more to develop, as they require more complex coding and a content management utility needs to be developed to help you manage your website information.

Many of our clients choose a combination, having some dynamic areas such as a product catalog where they have to change information or pictures regularly, and leave other pages such as contact information as static pages.
