Reading as a god

Chapter 221 What do you call me?
The basic content of the website is determined, and the next step is the direction of development!

Is it a static web page?Or a dynamic web page?

Most of the so-called static web pages are single hypertext markup language files~
Every time the page is requested, the same content is returned.

Content only needs to be created once during website design.It is usually written manually, although some sites use automatic creation tools similar to dynamic websites, the results of which are stored long-term as finished pages.

If it is made into a static web page, it is still very easy~
After all, many static websites can even be automatically generated!
Commonly used generation tools include generation tools such as Jekyll and Adobe Muse.

It's not that static websites are inferior to dynamic websites!
The benefit of static websites is that they are easier to host because their servers only need to serve static content and do not need to execute server-side scripts.This can reduce the workload of website maintenance, and since the static website does not require a database, it can greatly avoid exposing system security vulnerabilities.

In addition, static websites can also load pages faster on low-cost server hardware.

But these advantages become less important as cheap web hosting expands to offer dynamic capabilities, virtual servers that provide high-performance services for short periods of time at low cost.

Almost all websites have some static content, because the main supporting resources (such as images and style sheets) are usually static, even on websites where the HTML code of the pages is generated almost entirely dynamically.Nowadays, many websites also tend to make dynamic web pages static for SEO optimization.

A dynamic web page is a web page generated by a server through an application server processing a server-side script.

They typically pull content from one or more back-end databases: some via database queries across relational databases for querying catalogs or summarizing numerical information; others use document-oriented databases such as MongoDB or NoSQL to store larger units of content , such as a blog post or wiki article.

During the design process, dynamic pages are often mocked up or wireframed with static pages.

It has been said that developing dynamic web pages requires more skills than designing static web pages, because it involves server-side design, database design, and client-side design at the same time.Even moderately sized dynamic website projects therefore often require teamwork to complete.

Languages ​​such as Perl, PHP or ASP are usually used directly when developing dynamic web pages.

Some of them, notably PHP and ASP, use a "template" approach, where a server-side page resembles the structure of a completed client-side page, and data is inserted in locations defined by "tags".This is a faster way to develop than a purely procedural language like Perl.

For many websites, the two implementations of the "tag" approach and the "template" approach have mostly been replaced by higher-level, application-oriented tools such as content management systems.

These tools are built on some common code and assume that the content provided by the site follows several established models, such as a chronological blog, a feature magazine or news site, a co-writing site, or a user forum .These tools make it easier to build websites, requiring only pure design and content organization, no programming required.

Editing the web content itself (including template pages) can be done either through the site itself or using third-party software.The ability to edit all pages is only available to certain categories of users (for example, administrators or registered users).In some, less often, anonymous users are allowed to edit certain web content (for example, adding messages on a forum).

After comprehensive consideration, Zhang Shan decided to create a dynamic webpage~
Seeing Zhang Shan's posture and directly starting to edit the interface, Gu Youyou was speechless~
Is this going to come out of a website by yourself?

"Brother Shan, are you going to force yourself out?
Even if the website can be handled by one person during the development process, it is absolutely extremely difficult to be responsible for it by one person in the later stage! "

It’s not that Gu Youyou is giving up~
As the saying goes, there is specialization in the art industry!

A website's marketing and communication design can determine what products are suitable for the target market.The target market may be a certain age group or a specific cultural chain; therefore designers need to understand the trends of their audience.

Designers also need to understand the type of website they are designing!
This means, for example, that the design considerations for a B2B website may be very different from those for a consumer-targeted site such as a retail or entertainment site.Careful consideration may be required to ensure that the aesthetics or overall design of the site does not conflict with the clarity and accuracy of the content or the ease of site navigation, especially on B2B sites.Designers may also consider the reputation of the website owner or business representative to ensure they are portrayed favorably.

And not only that, but also consider the user experience~
Users' understanding of website content often depends on users' understanding of how the website works, which is part of user experience design.

User experience has to do with a website's layout, clear instructions, and labels.

How well a user understands how to interact on a website also depends on the interactive design of the website.

If users realize the usefulness of a website, they are more likely to continue using it.

Although skilled and proficient website users may find it useful to have a website interface that is different but less intuitive or user-friendly.

However, less experienced users are less likely to see the advantage or usefulness of a less intuitive website interface.

This drives the trend toward a more universal user experience and ease of access, accommodating as many users as possible, regardless of user skill.

Much of UX design and interaction design is considered in user interface design.

Advanced interactive features may require plugins if advanced programming language skills are not available.

Choosing whether to use interactivity that requires plugins is a key decision in UX design.

If the plug-in is not pre-installed in most browsers, users may neither know how to install it nor have the patience to install the plug-in to access the content.

If the feature requires advanced programming language skills, writing the code may be too costly in time or money compared to the amount of enhancement the feature will improve the user experience.

Shipping a shaky feature can be worse for user experience than not trying.It depends on whether the target audience needs or is worth the risk.

This aspect of user experience is often the most difficult part to deal with, and developers are often thankless!
After all, it's hard to say what everyone says!

Not to mention……

However, Zhang Shan's words interrupted Gu Youyou's train of thought~
"Honey, what do you mean I am the only one who is tough, and you are there~"

Gu Youyou was stunned: "What did you say?"

"I said the two of us will get this website together!"

"No, I mean what did you call me?"

"Honey, what's the matter~"
