STATIC:

The static website is the simplest way to showcase your product or business online. It is the easiest type of website to set up, but making changes to static websites require web programming knowledge.

Dynamic websites are content management systems. Information on the page, such as text, images, hyperlinks, banner ads, etc. can be changed by the administrator at any time, without the need for web programming knowledge.

Administrators have full control of the contents on the website through a personal panel, inaccessible to the site’s viewers. This gives the administrator the power to completely manage the website.

Gone in Sixty Seconds, What to Avoid in Your Site!

I am not going to talk about movies here. It is how to make the visitors of your site leave in seconds and never come back! Unfortunately, I did not invent those techniques, they are everywhere on the internet. I have just gathered them for you so read on (and avoid!).

HTML: A webpage is just like a word document, if you can use MS Word then why not use MS Front Page and build a web site in minutes. You do not have to learn any of the HTML tags. It is boring and takes time.

Colors: You have to be unique, so never use the usual color schemes: light background with a dark color font, it is everywhere on the internet and you have to be new. Use your imagination like a RED background with a GREEN font color! Also never use blue for links and the most important thing: Use the same color for the visited and unvisited links, so people visit the same page like hundreds of times. Remember: Standards are boring, be unique.

* Many web designers, even professional web designers, are not familiar with SEO techniques.
* Search engines differ in their criteria to rank web sites and web pages, which means that optimising for one may work against you for another.
* Search engines tend to change their criteria regularly to prevent the manipulation of rankings. This means that you need to constantly be on the lookout and up to date with the latest techniques and issues.
