Static Websites…

Static website’s content can only be changed by the web developer. A Static Website can be seen as an online brochure or catalogue. It is usually used to provide some company information, a description of the products or services that you offer and some contact information.

The main factor to help you decide whether a Static Website is the ideal web solution for your business is if the information you want to put online will not change for a long period.

This means that you will rarely see information like Company News & Announcements, Special Offers, Latest Event, Client List, Featured Project, Special Offers and much other information that needs regular updating on a Static Website.

What are the advantages of a Static Website?

Static Websites are susceptible to errors…
It is very difficult to keep a static website error-free, because the larger the website becomes, the more difficult it is to maintain it and you end up having dead links or other errors on your website.

The information becomes obsolete and outdated…
There comes a point where the information on a Static Website does not reflect on the current state of the business. This might result in damaging a company rather than helping it.

Static Websites are expensive to maintain…
Since information will start becoming obsolete you will want to start updating it. Each update will require you to go back to the developer and since there is always development involved in updating a Static Website, you will get charged each time.

The initial investment for a Static Website can be higher than a Dynamic Website…
From a certain size and above, a Static Website can cost more than a Dynamic Website to develop, because the cost for a Static Website is usually calculated on a per page basis.

Flash is an exciting way to make an entire website come alive with animation and movement. When done properly, Flash will be alluring enough to grab the viewer’s attention, yet subtle enough to give a static website a little bit of flair without distracting from the core message. Flash can even be used to connect to a database and display information in a more appealing format.

e-Business Consultants can create interactive Flash presentations for viewing on your website. Our list of Flash capabilities includes:

·          Complete Flash websites/applications

·          Flash components such as navigation, animations and advertisements

·          Animated product demonstrations

·          Fully animated navigation

·          Cutting edge visual effects

·          Sound and animation that loads quickly

·          Online presentation with dazzling effects, sound & eye-catching graphics

·          Rich-user interfaces that enhance user experience

·          Rich-media online advertising

No matter how it is used, Flash is a great tool for making a website more engaging and dynamic, greatly enhancing the appearance of your message and creating a more memorable experience for the viewer.

What are the advantages of a Dynamic Website?

Design, business logic and content are kept separately…
This means you can change the design without having to re-enter the content and vice versa.

Easily expandable…
You can add more functionality in the future as and when needed, thus protecting your investment.

Website content is kept up-to-date…
Having a dynamic website that is powered by the proper Web CMS, allows you to easily update the content of your website at any time you like. You can edit or delete existing pages, add new pages, add new sections with new pages and much more. And all these without having to involve the developer and without getting involved with any design or programming!

Savings and low maintenance costs…
Dynamic websites save you a lot of money in the short, medium or long-term, depending on how often you update the content on your website. Each time you update your website, you save money that you would otherwise had to pay the developer to do the change if your website was not dynamic.

Search engines "prefer" dynamic websites…
You have a better chance to get a higher ranking result if your website's content is frequently updated. Search engines favour the ranking of websites that keep their content up-to-date.

People/Clients find dynamic websites more useful…
Consumers like to see a website being kept up-to-date. A dynamic website that is kept up-to-date has a much higher chance to bring the visitor/customer back, again and again.

A dynamic website helps in avoiding "dead links" on your website…
Many of the links (e.g. menu items) are automatically created for you, so the chances of having links on your website that lead nowhere are kept to a minimum.
