Dynamic Websites
Need to do business online or regularly update content on your site?

If you are interested in having a virtual store, it is of paramount importance that your site be a dynamic one. A dynamic website is a website that is powered by a database and it allows data to be sent, received and stored easily. This means any information you would like to store, like products, details of community members, content etc can be stored and pulled out whenever you like. This is very useful to you and your clients. Take a look at what dynamic websites can be used for:

Content Management System
If you have a lot of company information, news, products and events taking place and need to update website content regularly, a dynamic website is for you. It can be used as an efficient content management system. You have access to a simple admin interface where you can key in and upload new information without having to spend any extra money for updates.

E-commerce site
A dynamic site could very well serve as your virtual store. It allows you to take orders, keep tag of inventory and shipping and also have easily updatable products and product catalogue.

Members' database
The dynamic website also functions as a member database by letting users sign up and maintaining their personal and professional information securely. You can view and manage information easily through the admin interface.

Distribute information to a wider audience
Data from a database can be distributed easily through an accessible format or by using RSS feeds expanding the website's potential reach exponentially.

Extranet
One portion of your website can be set up as a secure client area or can be earmarked only for access by employees. You can easily share information, have discussions and store documents here.

Company Intranet and information systems
Many companies need to distribute information and make sure it reaches the right staff. For this, a dynamic website can be invaluable. It can function as a metrics analyzer, performance management system or even an inventory tracker-the applications are many. Employees can access, store and view information easily and be sure the other stakeholders and involved people view it too. They can post comments and view feedback, building new connections in the workplace.

What technologies are used to create a dynamic website?
Dynamic websites can be created with the help of server-side languages such as PHP, Perl, ASP or ASP.NET, JSP etc. These server-side languages typically use the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) to produce dynamic web pages.
