Posted on by Tyler

When it comes to designing a website there are many different options. Each one has its own features and benefits that can help to achieve a better online presence. 

A static website design can be used when you only need a few pages and you don’t need to change the data. This type of website is easy to create and can be easily crawled by search engines. A difficulty is that the website would need manually updating which can be time-consuming. 

A dynamic website can be harder to design as it relies upon changes occurring to certain criteria for the site data to be automatically updated. 

If you need a store in order to make sales then you’ll need an eCommerce website. You will deal with the technical parts of the website as visitors should be able to access different areas of the website in different ways.
