What is the difference between Static web design and dynamic web design? This is a questions we get often from our clients.

Static websites are passive and provide predefined information and pages for the user. Traditional usages of static websites for marketing purposes are classic websites, a five page website or a brochure site. A static website is basic and normally includes a home page, an about us page, products and services, photos and contact info. Static websites can be updated with basic web design , XHTML and CSS knowledge and of course  the proper software.

Dynamic web sites incorporate more advanced web technologies to offer the user interactive features via add ons, plugins and applications – Content Management Systems (CMS), Directories, Real estate Listings and management, Blogging Platforms, Shopping Carts & a lot more.  A dynamic website easily allows you to add, delete or pages and content without any web design knowledge. Dynamic websites are also scalable and flexible;something very important in this fast changing technological world.

There are many differences between a static website and dynamic website, primarily in the total project cost and turn around time. To choose the right form for your website , your website and business goals need to be assessed. Both static web design and dynamic web design can both be a very powerful internet marketing tool and an integral part of your marketing campaign.
