Content Management vs. Static Web Design
Which is right for me?
If you are interested in having your website designed (or redesigned), there are two basic options. Two commonly used website designs are Content Management Systems (CMS) and Static Web Designs.
Okay, but what does that mean?
Static Web Designs tend to be cheaper because they require less labor and only need a designer. You tell the person designing your website your vision and what you want on the website, and they input all of the information. This is one of the easiest options for creating a website because you tell the designer what you want and they do the rest.
A Content Management System allows you to update your information any time, any place, at your convenience. A website will be designed and customized, and then you are taught an easy-to-use system that allows you to update your information as often as you would like.
Is updating a website through CMS difficult?
It’s really not. When you want to post new information on your website (in the following example, information about a new piece of real estate that is available for rent) you simply start a new post, and fill in all of the information, pictures, links, etc that you would like included.
Here is an example of an update done by V&V Real Estate Associates:
As you can see, the user updating the website simply enters information into the easy-to-use system. If you have ever written a blog before, this template will look familiar to you. After entering in all of the desired information, simply click “publish.”
Here’s the result:
It really is as easy as it looks, and gives you the ability to add or update posts as often as you’d like.
Now that you know the difference between a Content Management System and a Static Web Design, all you have to do is decide which one is right for you or your company.
I should really be working Thanks a million for giving me a break
Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.
I am not truly sure if finest practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your good job is clearly identified. I was thinking if you offer any subscription to your RSS feeds as I would be very interested but i can’t find any link to join here.Where is it? Regards, Layla.

Absolutely agree with what you reported. Your explanation was by far the easiest to comprehend. I tell you, I usually get annoyed when folks discuss issues that they clearly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail right on the head and rolled out everything without complication. Hopefully, other people can take a cue. Will be back for additional. Keep writing
