Dynamic Data Driven Web Sites

	Update and add images like this one in an instant. Have images and text automatically change on a given date and time.

Change your own site... on your schedule! Dynamic means that the site is not static (or stationary). The site can change based upon what is in the database. You make a change in the database and your site changes instantly. No waiting for a web developer and no paying for a web developer to make the changes. Of course not everything on the site can be easily altered in this manner, but the most critical elements can without installing any web design software. All you need is your web browser and the password.

What Kinds of Items Can I Change?

Although most anything can be changed using a database, here are common areas of use:

	Calendar of Events - both internal and for site visitors
	Membership or Subscriber List
	Shopping Area / Inventory for e-Commerce
	Text Areas (like this one)
	Pictures or Photo Galleries
	Forums or Feedback Pages
	Links Page
	Any List of Items or Locations
	Articles or Write-ups About Your Service or Product

In general, what do you need to change on your site? Chances are, you can do it with a database driving your site.
