Static websites are designed once and the required information is placed in them. After that, a professional or semi-professional is needed to create changes to the
website. The programming language of such websites is usually HTML and Java Script. In more developed cases, CSS is also used.
Since less codes are used in static websites, they have a high loading speed. Also, less codes mean better availability of the
website to the search robots on the one hand, and faster loading has improved their ranking in search engines. Designed Static websites is usually cheaper compared to other websites. The impossibility of creating changes to such websites by unskilled people increases the security of the
website. It also creates beautiful appearance and graphics, since everything is static, including texts and image size. Everything has its specific and static place. Therefore, one can make the best decisions about every element. On the other hand, tie impossibility of creating changes to the
website by amateurs makes it impossible for
website managers and owners to update it regularly.
In such websites, the basic skeleton is designed by the designer and then the content is developed by the
website managers. It resembles a contract which is initially written by one person and is then edited and added to a number of times by other people. The designer does not know about the placement and the exact size of texts, images and other elements which are changed by
website managers later on. Consequently, he has no way but to take into consideration all possible options which results in low-quality graphics and appearance. One of the advantages of dynamic websites is that they are not limited in terms of making changes, creating or removing contents, images, pages, etc.
Since dynamic websites use advanced coding languages, they have many features such as smart pages, forms and advanced searches. Using lots of codes results in slower loading and a lower ranking in search engines.
Dynamic websites are suitable for people, companies and organizations that need to make changes to the
website content more than twice a year.
Portals are dynamic, complete websites that serve multiple purposes in terms of one single
website. In other words, a number of dynamic websites that have come together to serve a specific purpose is called a portal. For instance, a news portal consists of a number of dynamic websites each of which provide special features such as membership, news release, gallery, surveys and … for the managers. All the features of a dynamic
website can be true about a Portal too.
Portals are usually bought by organizations, groups and companies. Since they need constant updating, managing their numerous parts by one single person is very difficult unless it is looked at as a part time job.
