If we have an option – what should we choose: static or dynamic web-site?

Before we answer to that question, is important to know what would be the purpose of the web-site, what ideas would take place in it. Both the dynamic and static sites have advantages and disadvantages. You should know them in order to make an informed decision. The differences between both types of web-sites are on several levels: price, way of support and general outlook.

Static site: Advantages:

•    Each web-page is designed individually with HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), Java and Java script technologies, which makes the web-site design much more free and easy.
•    It`s possible to include dynamic effects.
•    It`s not necessary for the web-design to be supported by a strict network.
•    The hosting is cheaper.
•     It uses less server resources
•    Each static web-site has a copy, because before you put it in exploitation “in” the server, it has to be copied in the personal computer.
•    The web-design is cheaper.
•    The pages in your browser are loading faster.
•    Your web-site is much more recognizable by Google, Yahoo and other searching programs.

Static site: Disadvantages:

•    The amount of information which you can put in such a web-site is very small.
•    If during the work of the web-site you want to make some changes in it or to actualize it, you will need the help of a professional web-designer.
•    The web-support and actualization of such a web-site costs more than the support of a dynamic web-site, for example.
•    There are obstacles if you want to expand your web-site.

Dynamic web-site: Advantages:

•    It has a great number of function options.
•    You can put internet modules.
•    It`s not a necessity to turn for help to a professional web-designer if you want to make any changes in your web-site.
•    The amount of information you can put in a dynamic web-site is limitless.
•    It`s easier for you to expand your web-site.

Dynamic web-site: Disadvantages:

•    It takes more time for the web-pages to be loaded.
•    The dynamic web-site doesn’t have its own copy on the hard-disk of the computer.
•    The CEO support is harder to do, it takes more time.
•    There are limitations when it comes to types of web-design varieties.

The dynamic web-site is suitable for you, if you want to create an online shop, an online catalog, online magazines and newspapers. To cut the long story short –if you want a web-site which has to be actualized all the time – you need a dynamic web-site.
