Website Designing is the process of planning, conceptualizing, and arranging content online. It involves creating the layout, structure, user interface (UI), and visual appearance of a website. The goal is to provide a seamless and engaging user experience (UX) while fulfilling the website's functional and branding objectives.

Types of Website Designing

Website design can be broadly classified into two main types:

1. Static Website Designing

A static website is one that is fixed and displays the same content to every visitor. It is built using HTML, CSS, and sometimes JavaScript. There is no interaction with a database, and any content updates need to be made manually in the source code.

➤ Characteristics:

• ✦ Fixed content: Same for all users.
• ✦ Fast loading speed: No server processing needed.
• ✦ No database connectivity.
• ✦ Low development cost.
• ✦ Best for small websites (e.g., personal portfolios, informational pages, digital resumes).

➤ Pros:

• ✦ Easy to develop and host
• ✦ Loads faster than dynamic websites
• ✦ More secure (less vulnerability to hacking)

➤ Cons:

• No user interaction (e.g., logins, forms saving to database)
• Difficult to scale or update frequently

2. Dynamic Website Designing

A dynamic website displays different content and allows user interaction by fetching data from a database. Pages are generated in real-time based on user actions or backend processes.

➤ Technologies Used:

• ✦ Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Angular
• ✦ Backend: PHP, Node.js, Python, Java, etc.
• ✦ Database: MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, etc.

➤ Characteristics:

• ✦ Content changes dynamically.
• ✦ Connected with a database.
• ✦ More interactive (e.g., login systems, user dashboards, eCommerce sites).
• ✦ Requires more resources and maintenance.

➤ Pros:

• ✦ Personalized content delivery
• ✦ Easier to update through admin panels
• ✦ Supports complex features (search, forms, CMS, user login)

➤ Cons:

• ✦ Requires backend/server development
• ✦ More expensive and time-consuming
• ✦ Potentially slower than static websites if not optimized
