Static, Dynamic & Dynamix Websites

Extra, Extra read all about it! While millions of people still rely on the good old black and white every day, it is the perfect example of a static media. Once it is printed a newspaper can no longer be changed, its type has been set and one will simply have to wait until the next edition to recieve the quote unquote latest news even if it has broken minutes after the paper has been delivered to your doorstep. Similarly, once a static website has been published it too will not change until the next edition; whenever the webmaster or someone familiar with HTML, or flash edits the content. These brochure style sites are fairly inexpensive to setup and even cheaper to maintain, but lack and updated or changing content.

A dynamic website on the other hand uses programming in addition to the layout to not only allow the the flow of data in and out of the site but to make meaningful relationships with the data. For example an online business directory may allow local businesses to sign up and create profiles for their businesses. Visitors to the site may then search the directory based on their needs for example one may conduct a search for a laywer in their zip code who speaks Spanish or for a dance school in the area that offers tap dancing classes. These dynamic sites are quite expensive to setup and usually come with a larger monthly fee to maintain.

A Dynamix website is a site full of custom built programs designed by Six Digit Media to give the user to power of custom programming, but without the large price tag.  We have taken most of the basic web functionality and created eay-to-use programs to give the admin complete control and make thier website fully dynamic.  In just the basic Site Dynamix program, admins have accesss to modules such as online calendars, photo galleries, directories, site stats, news pages, blogs, search boxes, online forms, and much more.  Our Dynamix sites are as cheaper to setup than most static sites and have a moderate monthly fee for access to all its features.

Dynamix websites empower their owners with the ability to upload information on their own, preferably through password protected administrative interfaces. One does not require knowledge about HTML or websites design to update or maintain such a site.

In addition to the budget there are several other factors that will determine if you need a static or Dynamix site. What purpose will your site serve? If you are a relatively small business or the services and products that your provide are few and/or simple to explain then a static website could suffice your needs. On the other hand if you have a large inventory of products and/or services, calendar of events, or interactive online forms, then you may wish to empower your customers with dynamic content through the Dynamix programs.

If you were renting a small villa on a beach in the Caribbean and you simply needed to show a few pictures, provide rates and contact info, a static site would do. If you were a real estate broker in a competitive market and you needed to update your listings frequently, a dynamic website would be your solution.
