Types of Web Site
There are two types of web site.
A static site displays fixed information and always looks the same to each visitor. These are cheapest to develop and are essentially online advertisements for your business. A static site is like a magazine article.
This kind of site is suitable for a sole trader who needs a simple web advertisment.
A Dynamic Site has pages which are created on the fly using code such as javascript or php. Information for the pages may come from a database. These sites allow interaction by the user and are often known as web applications. Because these sites require programming expertise they are more expensive than static sites. Content Management Systems, online shops and forums are examples of web applications.
Web applications range from a relatively simple facility such as a guest book or a very limited content management system to huge, complex projects bringing together entire markets such as job agency sites, online shopping sites and dating sites.
For SME's who have outgrown their static sites or who don't yet have an online presence, a web application will suitably reflect your organisation's standing. scideas will work with you to tailor a web site according to your size, goals and mode of operation.
