The different types of sites
WEBDEV enables you to create static sites and/or dynamic sites. The main difference between these two types of sites is:
the dynamic sites manage the data in an interactive mode while the static sites manage fixed data only. A dynamic site can also include a static section (the presentation of the company for instance). Main differences between a static site and a dynamic site | | | Static site | Dynamic site |
|---|
| The content of the pages is fixed, it is defined only once. A static site cannot interact with data. | The data displayed in the pages changes. In most cases, the pages are used to:- perform processes and/or calculations by programming.
- display data stored in a database.
- display images and interactive text.
WEBDEV offers several types of dynamic sites: - WEBDEV site in Session mode.
- WEBDEV site in AWP mode.
- PHP site.
| | Static WEBDEV site: the WEBDEV Application Server is not required. | Dynamic WEBDEV site: the WEBDEV Application Server or the PHP language is required. |
