This is a web page that is built and managed as a single page, but that varies its content based on who is looking at it from which device. There are dynamic web pages and static web pages. A static web page is managed and built as a single page, but it looks the same every time until it is changed or updated. With a dynamic web page, the content may change from one viewing to the next. This can even happen if the same device is used on the same day. For example, the content may change depending on something such as who is signed in to Facebook at the time.
Mobile compatible websites
A responsive website is one that changes to suit the screen type, size, settings, etc. A dynamic web page is able to do the same thing. You can create a dynamic website to show certain information if a mobile device is being used instead of a desktop device.
Is updating actually easier?
To an experienced web designer the updating process for a dynamic web page is no more difficult than updating a static web page. Some say that updating a static web page is more difficult, but this is not really the case. There is the fact that the whole page has to be updated at one time, but that may simply involve making changes offline and uploading the new version.
People say that updating a dynamic web page is easier because you can change and upload bits instead of having to do it for the whole lot. You do not have to render a full web page for the browser to manage.
Changes via schedules
This is one of the better qualities of a dynamic web design. You are able to set a schedule and have your content change depending upon the time. Between 11 am and 3 pm you may have content for stay at home mothers and fathers. And after 3 pm you may make the content more child-friendly. And after 6 pm you may have the content change to a more “after work†friendly setting.
What does the browser react to?
The browser renders the correct information based on the rules set by the webmaster. More commonly, you will see changes based on cookies. Things such as social media are also factors. If a person is signed in to a certain social media network, then there is a chance the page will alter based on who is signed in. Using social media a web page is able to determine the sex, age, location. Of the person that is using a certain web page at that time.
