These are just a few reasons for using a database with your website:

  • To allow authorized users to edit the information displayed on your web pages

  • To have pages that respond to user actions in real-time

  • To allow users to search your website's content

  • To minimize the amount of pages in your website

  • To make the website's content easier to maintain and update
The difference between a brochure website and a database-driven website:
With a brochure website, the content displayed does not change unless the designer overwrites it with new content.
With a database website, content is pulled from a database and inserted into the web page before it is displayed.
