General information
The process of creation of web pages, their layout, text and images arrangement and the creation of links between these web pages in such way, so all of them to be accessible under one main name (domain also called web site name) is what we call web site design (sometimes called also web design, site design or web development).
The web sites could be different types, depends on what feature we use to classify them.
The two main types are web sites with static and web sites with dynamic content.
Static content web sites are most easy to design and handle afterwards. Their web page content is static. It does not change and does not depends on users interaction. The page always shows the same content, that has been loaded in it during the design. Example for such web pages are the HTML pages. The static web sites do not require any special hosting additions like data base and programming language support, and can be hosted on any hosting platform.
Web sites with dynamic page content are able to change the web page content before while the page loads in the visitors browser. The page content may depend on various factors. Most often the content of the page is loaded from data base or from external file. Example for web site with dynamic content could be any search engine or Internet directory. The web page shown is one and the same, but its content depends on the searching string.
