The Banyan Infotech - Dynamic Website

The dynamic website brings together several underlying technologies. It stores the content in a database and using a script, dynamically retrieves and packages that content into a web page before it is sent to the client browser.

Certain web environments have come into use to deal with the complexities of the dynamic website. In terms of functionality, these could be broken down into:

• Content Management System (CMS)
• Shopping cart or ecommerce system.

Both use the same underlying technologies. Note that there are many variations and combinations of these technologies, which can be split into proprietary and non-proprietary systems. Also note that there is overlap between these two systems so that a CMS could be fitted with ecommerce functionality.

The dynamic website is appropriate when:

• You want to sell products on the internet
• Your website will be updated regularly
• Your website will be updated by multiple users
• You plan on possibly adding new functionality to your website at some time in the future
• Optimizing your website for the search engines is a priority
• You want to acquire new, online customers or visitors to your website.
