Dynamic Websites
Around the Bend
Dynamic pages are more complex than static pages because they pull content from a database using the selections of the individual visitor. The content is then
assembled on the page before it is downloaded and displayed on your computer. Many e-commerce sites are dynamic in that they use a database to store information
about their product, but they also require a shopping cart and a way to process payments. Common dynamic websites include blogs, forums, directories, etc. Any site
that selects data from a large database using criteria supplied by the visitor is a dynamic website. On this type of website, the content isn't "hard-wired" on the page.
It is assembled and then plugged into predefined places on the page. This makes designing the pages more complex, but makes the website more efficient and more
compact.
