It used to be, not that long ago, that becoming a web page authoring wizard required little more than an understanding of a few dozen HTML tags, and modest experience with a scanner and graphics program to generate a corporate logo image file.
However, the hobby phase is over, and the Internet is a big, big business. It has become more and more difficult for your site to become noticed or even bookmarked, and the competition for that is enormous. The many changes the Internet has been through over the years are phenomenal. Web pages have better graphics, and the capabilities of these pages are expanding extremely fast. The great thing is that these changes are allowing us to make our pages more dynamic. They can think and do on their own without much help from the server once they are loaded in the browser.
So, what do people look for in a dynamic web site? The site needs to be maintainable and striking to the eye. It needs to be dramatically robust. You can simply write a different page for all the content in your site and connect these pages with hyperlinks or using a navigation bar in the main page. This may seem simple and easy, but when it comes to adding new content, or changing the layout, it is impossible to go through every page and edit the code. This is known at the static approach.
The dynamic approach is where you use a database as the foundation of your site. Usernames, passwords, articles for your content, pictures, or anything else you can think of is put in the database. This is like your storage space for everything you need in your web page. You just have to draw out a plan for the data driven code so it knows where to put all of the content you have put in your database. This plan is called the template for the site. This is generally created using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS and Dynamic HTML. When the site is loaded into the browser, dynamic pages interact with the user and generate the HTML pages. This is done so the user doesn't have to be taken from page to page with the help of the hyperlinks.
You can see that Dynamic Websites is the way to go. It saves a lot of time and energy for both the authors and the user. It is definitely the future of the Internet.
