Design a Dynamic or Static web site?
17 Feb, 2008
When we find ourselves dealing with customers, they will ask us sometimes: What do you recommend me, a page with or without motion? Then comes the time when we have to think and give a good answer. Here are some tips for you to get the best answer possible:
Dynamic:
Is the site where motion is added, this motion can interact with the viewer while he/she surfers through the site. The content is most of the time motionless, but the images or scenarios around it will be dynamic. If you want to do a dynamic site, you’ll need Flash. A good example would be a web site where the surfer can interact with the data base. The customer types in what he/she wants and it comes out. This is called a non-linear web page.
The great advantage of these pages is their easy way to administrate. As long as you know the programming language. Some examples of dynamic sites could be: Forums, picture galleries, etc.
Static:
Like the name indicates, there’s no motion in these types of pages. This doesn’t mean it’s a boring site, because it could have a good design and attract a lot of customers. These sites are linear. Because the client can jump from a place to another. Or as the designer wanted it.
Now with this in your head, we can give our customers a clearer idea of what he/she would need for the company.
