Overview
What is a dynamic website?
A dynamic website is a website that changes as users interact with it. Dynamic websites allow for things like showing real time inventory and personalization by user.
What are the differences between dynamic and static websites?
Static websites contain stable content, and display the exact same thing to every visitor, while dynamic websites display an experience that updates automatically every time it is visited.
What are different types of dynamic web pages?
There are two types of dynamic web pages: client-side scripting and server-side scripting. A client-side scripting page triggers changes based on user actions on the web page, and a server-side scripting page changes when the page gets loaded or visited.
What are some examples of dynamic websites?
Most websites today are dynamic websites, such as e-commerce sites, social media sites like blogs, entertainment sites, and news sites.
What are the benefits of a dynamic website?
There are multiple benefits of a dynamic website. First of all, updating a dynamic website is much easier than updating a static website since there is no need to recreate or redeploy the entire site. It also makes it possible to personalize your website’s content to individual visitors for better engagement and conversion, and offers more flexibility for building richer features and functionalities.
