#1 The major and very first difference is that static pages are written in plain HTML, whereas dynamic pages are written using a server-side language like PHP, ASP, Java, etc.

#2 The content displayed on a static web page is the content written in the code of the page. The content in a dynamic site is called in by the scripting language. It is called in from other files or a database depending on actions taken by the user.

#3 Static sites are easy to develop, costs cheaper in comparison to dynamic sites.

#4 Dynamic sites are more functional and easier to update. If you want to update a static website, you have to be conversant with HTML coding.

#5 Static sites are less interactive and engaging. It allows you to use different themes, but there will be no user engagement.

Overall, dynamic websites cost more, but according to today’s era, they are more beneficial for business purposes. Static websites are long gone, and there are few companies that still use them. You should rather get a dynamic website developed which will help your business in many ways.

On May 23rd, 2017 in Web Designing and Development

We have talked about the aspects of web designing, elements, kinds, and many other things. We have already discussed the importance of the responsive websites. They are accessible on all device, be it a mobile, tablet, or laptop. But designing a responsive website is not enough, you need to update it at regular intervals. There are several reasons why redesigning or updating a responsive website on regular intervals is important. I have enlisted some of them, let us go through them:

#1 In the fast-paced world, technology is developing rapidly. There are new trends and technological advancements every day. People are doing everything possible to grow their business. Website redesigning is a part of business growth. And if you are still working on 20th century’s website, then you are probably losing potential clients.

#2 Every new trend is a new sale booster. If a user finds something new and different on your website, he/she would surely come back. So make sure that you bring something new to the user after redesigning, else it would be a waste of time and hard-earned money.

#3 Introduce new functionalities and features, but be careful with page loading. Instead of bringing something new, make sure that you do not end up deteriorating the page loading time.

#4 Adding new content can turn out to be a huge advantage. It can bring new people to your website and increase the traffic. But always make sure that the content is original. Never add copied content as it not only affects your page ranking but also raise questions on your previous work.

#5 A website needs your undivided attention. And if you are the owner of the website, you should make sure to be up-to-date with latest trends in the digital world. Keep track of the manual work you have to do on the website.

The purpose of redesigning is not just to add some new thing, it also includes keeping the website updated. There should be no broken links, copied content, old offers, etc. It causes harm to the customer base. Redesigning can prove to be the best thing for you, especially to adapt and implement newer things designed to attract more traffic, more profit, and engage more users.
