The Difference Between a Static Website and a Dynamic Website

If you are planning on having a website, it is important that you understand that there are two distinct types of websites: static and dynamic. We will take a few minutes here to explain to you the differences between the two, and once you are finished reading, you should have a very good understanding of both so that you can decide clearly which type of website is best for you.

Millions of us rely on a printed newspaper as a way to read the happenings in the world. A newspaper is in fact, a very good example of a static media. Once a story has been printed on a newspaper, it cannot be changed as its type has been set. You will simply have to wait until the next edition is printed in order to receive the latest news. Much in the same way, a static website cannot be changed until the webmaster or someone familiar with HTML or flash edits and/or updates the content.

A dynamic website, on the other hand, offers the owner the ability to upload information on their own, usually via a password protected interface. It is not a requirement that the owner knows HTML or website design. He can simply change the site as he pleases.

If you are attempting to rent out a cottage on a beach somewhere, and you just need to show a few photos of the outside and interior of that summer home, provide the rental rates and your contact information, a static site would be perfect. On the other hand, if you were in the real estate business in a very competitive market, you need to keep your information updated on a regular basis with your new listings. In this case a dynamic website is the perfect solution.

You may wish to go with a static website when:

• Your objective is simple. You will provide some text and some images in an eye-pleasing manner
• You do not plan to change the content often, if at all
• You are quite sure that you will not need to change or add any functionality to your site for some time well into the future
• You are not all that concerned with optimizing your site for the search engines
• You have no plans to enhance your online business

If you are serious about getting your site ranked well, you will have to update and refine your content on a regular basis. It is possible to change and update the content on a static website, but it is not convenient and does require that you know HTML. A static website can be looked at as an online business card as it is a good way of providing additional information about your existing business.

Advantages of a static website:

• Very quick to develop
• Inexpensive to develop
• Inexpensive to host

Disadvantages of a static website:

• Web development skills are required in order to update the site
• Not as useful to the user
• Content can become outdated

You may wish to go with a dynamic website when:

• You plan on selling products online
• You plan to update your website on a regular basis
• Your site will be updated by more people than just yourself
• You may want to add some functionality to your site at some time in the future
• It is very important to you to optimize your website for the search engines
• You want to gain visitors to your site

Advantages of a dynamic website:

• A highly functional website
• Very easy to update
• Fresh content draws visitors back to the site and helps in search engine ranking
• More than one user can develop/work on the site

Disadvantages of a dynamic website

• Takes longer to develop
• More costly to develop
• Costs more to host

Summary

If you are a small business owner or if the services and/or products you offer are few and easy to explain, then a static website would suit you just fine. But, if you have a lot of products and/or services and you want to allow your site visitors to be able to search through your inventory, a dynamic website is best. A static website is rather limited in its functionality while the dynamic site has a great deal of potential in terms of functionality, but it can be complex to use.

What is Lokpal Bill

NEW DELHI: Mahesh Kundu paid $45 for a driving license, Rupam Bhatia $110 to be admitted to hospital and Vishrant Chandra $130 for a marriage certificate. These are the commonplace bribery stories experienced by middle-class Indians who have poured into the streets to say "enough is enough".

Corruption in India is as old as the Ramayana, when the evil giant Ravana bribed a guardian of hell to avoid punishment in the ancient Indian epic. What is unprecedented is the spontaneous middle-class anti-graft movement coalescing around hunger-fasting activist Anna Hazare, a former army soldier- turned-social activist, who has created an Indian "spring" of rebellion against politics as usual.

Tens of thousands of people have joined peaceful protests across the country, forcing a weak and fumbling government and an equally hapless opposition to try to placate growing frustration and anger at the political class.

"Anna Hazare has raised our inner conscience," said Vishrant Chandra, a 35-year-old sales manager at Sun Life insurance in New Delhi, who had his own story to tell.

"A marriage certificate cost 6,000 rupees ($130)," said Chandra, smartly dressed and wearing a sticker saying "Anna. We are with you", as he described his brush with corruption.

"Agents outside the marriage certificate office roam around. Those are the ones you pay," said Chandra as he wiped sweat from his forehead in the sweltering sun at the Ramlila ground, where Hazare lay on a public stage in the sweltering monsoon heat in the second week of his fast.

India has a long history of civil movements, topped by Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent protest that led to the end of British colonial rule. But this is a rare instance of India's middle class putting aside their material concerns to take to the streets for a political cause.

The near-double-digit economic growth India has enjoyed since the economy was opened up in the early 1990s has elevated millions of people to the middle class. They have long been apolitical, with many of them shunning the ballot box and forking out bribes to get by, sustaining a system where corruption became an unchallenged way of life.

"What is happening is a collective guilt," Shekhar Kapur, a critically acclaimed Indian film maker, told CNN-IBN. "Many of those who are coming out haven't voted or were not of voting age. They realise they have to take charge to change society."

Will The Lokpal Panel Agree On Prime Minister’s Inclusion?

Forgetting all the disagreements and ugly verbatim, the Lokpal drafting Panel will be meeting today in New Delhi to discuss the inclusion of Prime Minister and the higher judiciary under the armpit of Lokpal Bill. This happened to be seventh meeting of the 10 member committee. The process of drafting the bill has to be completed by the June 30 because this is the deadline given for the draft bill.

In the fifth meeting, there were sharp difference between the Team Anna Hazare and the team government regarding the inclusion of Prime Minister, higher judiciary and the acting MPs under the armpit of Lokpal and the sixth meeting was boycotted by the civil society members headed by Anna and gone for a one day long fasting. Now it is their seventh meeting and if the members will not be have a consensus on the inclusion of the PM, higher Judiciary and MPs, what will be the future of this Bill. Anna said to the government that differences could be resolved through dialogue and not through confrontation.

The Lokpal bill has been cleared by the cabinet with the clause, which is more contradicted by the civil society members led by Anna Hazare, that exempting Prime Minister from the Lokpal armpit during his tenure.

A ray of hope developed between the Team Anna and the Government on the Jan Lokpal Bill. When PM requested Anna to end his indefinite hunger strike, he said he is willing to do so if there is a consensus on the three issues raised by the Team Anna and his protest will continue against corruption. PM promised Anna his party’s Vilasrao Deshmukh, two time chief minister of Maharashtra to meet Anna at his protest camp and convey that a debate in Parliament can begin tomorrow on all versions of the Lokpal Bill. The three contentious points of Team Anna are: First, the Lokpal -a new independent agency to investigate corruption – must be allowed to cover junior bureaucrats so that graft is combatted “from the villages to our ministries.” The second is that the Lokpal Act must be introduced not just at the Centre but in states. Finally, he wants government departments to adopt a citizen’s charter that would punish officials for under-performance.
