How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Dynamic Web Design

Newspaper

current event by markmcb on 31 July 2004, tagged as webdesign

If you've ever tried to build a simple web page, you probably found that it was quite easy. A few tags here and a few tags there and all of the sudden you were the proud owner of a small corner of the Internet. But if you put any decent amount of content into your site, you probably found that it was a real pain making all of your sub-pages look the same, keeping the menus on every page updated, and copying and pasting data all over the place just to reuse it.

Well, the good news is that there are better ways to design web pages. But (there's always a but) you're going to have to go outside the realm of HTML to use them. The attached article is a case study that considers a simple and somewhat standard home page written in HTML. It goes step by step showing a web designer how to convert those old, static HTML files into a site that is easy to maintain, modular in design, and allows for easy data reuse.

Despite the simplicity of the web page in the case study, the method is the exact one used to design, create, and maintain OmniNerd. So if you're looking to juice up a site, read this article. It is guaranteed to put you on the path to dynamic control of your site, or your money back!
