Websites that run off a central database

Database Driven Websites

Database driven websites run off a central database and use a content management system. This setup makes your website dynamic.

Database driven websites

In this type of site the page content is separate from the design. This allows for quick and easy updating of text, images, and links to documents without having to edit the actual web pages themselves.

Dynamic Website - What Is That?

A dynamic website changes whenever it is presented to the visitor. Maybe it's something simple, like a series of special offers or banners that change when a button is clicked. Or maybe it's a series of calculations that are pulled from information stored in the database.

This type of site changes depending on what the visitor selects. It adjusts the experience the visitor gets by using the information stored in the database. When the database information changes, so does the web page.

A good example of this type of website would be CNN. Just imagine how many articles, photos, ads, and news topics CNN has. Now imagine how many pages are on the cnn.com website (there are 3,570,000 and counting - we checked). All these pages are fed through a database enabling a hands off approach in the addition of new pages.

When the database is updated so is every page on the site that is meant to use the new information. And new pages are created dynamically.
