Dynamic Website

 

 

Introduction to Dynamic Website

A dynamic website refers to a website that alters its content based on the time it is accessed. These websites allow the development of real-time web pages utilizing parameters since they are developed using server-side scripting languages like PHP or ASP. The website has full control over the content and functionality that users can interact with.

How does a Dynamic Website work?

Given below shows how a dynamic website works:

  • The dynamic webpage displays content on a real-time basis. So, when the user wants to display the content, JavaScript checks the server for the contents being asked.
  • The process involves checking the URL or responding to the user directly.
  • Next, the data is transformed into a JavaScript-compatible format.
  • A PHP script is employed to carry out this conversion. JavaScript does not read SQL data; here, Java Script Object Notation comes as a savior. JavaScript and PHP Scripts are understanding JSON.
  • After receiving the JSON data from PHP, data is displayed on the website for the user. Here PHP acts as a bridge between SQL and JavaScript. This makes the data to be more presentable and dynamic for the users.

Uses of Dynamic Website

Given below are the uses of dynamic websites:

  • The dynamic website appears more professional due to its emotional content than the static website. If a business needs to operate through a website, using a dynamic website is preferable. This is because dynamic websites allow users and stakeholders to update their requirements directly on the website, providing a convenient platform for collaboration. This makes the business more interactive and helpful to clients and suppliers. Updating the prerequisites and making it interactive will not happen if the business owner uses a static website.
  • The user can view the recently edited content, edit the location, and post photos on the website. If the user wishes to hide the contents, he is free to do so. This hassle-free interaction with the website will make the user use the website again.
  • A single database houses all of the website’s content. Hence, if the user wants to search for some content or edit the content on the website, any of these can be done quickly by filtering and deleting unwanted posts. We can rightly call dynamic websites modern websites.
  • This change in the template will change the entire website content, and developers will not take much time to do so. We can edit all the pages together by changing the template and saving it to the desired format.
  • Using complex codes in the system allows us to create many pages at once, making the dynamic websites look more professional. We only need to develop the codes once, and then we can update the websites periodically.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Given below are the advantages and disadvantages :

Advantages

Below are the advantages:

  • The interaction with the customer is appreciated while using a dynamic website. It changes the behavior according to the customer’s needs and interacts with the customer well. A small change in the file changes the entire appearance of the website.
  • When there is any problem with the website, it is easy to update and make changes in the site easier than with the static website. If the page becomes stuck due to the code changes in the backend, the user can change the code and make the page respond. This logic works in social media and other dynamic websites.
  • Also, multiple users can add and edit the content on the website, which will only create a few problems while managing the website’s traffic.
  • Users can search for the content and make necessary changes as the contents are saved on the server.

Disadvantages

Below are the disadvantages:

  • The cost of development and maintenance is vast for dynamic websites. Also, the servers’ hosting costs are nonnegotiable, making the developers and users think more about building dynamic websites.
  • There are more functions and activities on the dynamic website. This is a happy moment for the front-end users but not for the developers.
  • The dynamic content on the website will make the site load slowly, which will, in turn, add to the processing time.
  • The complex technology used in dynamic websites will make the system work slowly. This will not be a preferred one by many users.

There are various applications for dynamic websites. This is because the page has dynamic content, and the client, upon receiving the request, opens up the range to the user.
