Demistifying Life and Web Development

Making static content more dynamic

I was helping some with their website yesterday and the hosting package they have does not allow for dynamic languages, such as PHP or Python, and there is no database either. So basically you have a situation where you can only upload static HTML pages, which is limiting yes, but not such an entirely bad thing. Managing the content for such a website only has two or three realistic options:

  • Use IDE such as Dreamweaver, which also implies more costs
  • Manually edit the HTML pages yourself, which can become nightmarish
  • Create some managed (C#) code that can automate HTML generation

All three approaches involve content being uploaded, which is not the worst thing ever, but it does mean that updates do not occur immediately. Also remember that a budget constraint is the biggest factor here. The idea is that you do not incur any additional monthly costs. I also think you can build content updates to social networks as well.
