Database Driven Sites

Database driven web pages is one of the most common types of dynamic web pages. Due to programming the web page is able to grab data from a database and then inserts that information into the web page each time it is loaded. In case of change of information in the database the web page will also automatically change accordingly without human intervention.

A great example of a Database Driven Website is banks and its online banking sites where you can log in (by entering your user name and password) and check out your bank account balance. Your bank account information is stored in a database and has been connected to the web page with programming thus enabling you to see your banking information. This kind of a website is essential if your information changes very often, just like it does in a banking site.
 

Content Management Systems

A content management system (CMS) is critical to the success of almost every website and intranet, and yet many organisations are not familiar with this technology. A content management system (CMS) supports the creation, management, distribution, publishing, and discovery of corporate information.

It covers the complete lifecycle of the pages on your site, from providing simple tools to create the content, through to publishing, and finally to archiving.

It also provides the ability to manage the structure of the site, the appearance of the published pages, and the navigation provided to the users.

Soltia Solutions aim to simplify web content management for you and allow you to perform content changes within your site without the knowledge of HTML, hence reducing your costs.

Why use Content Management System

• You have a website, or intranet. It has grown rapidly over time, and while it is very useful, it is far from perfect.
• You have recognised that:
• A large part of the content is out-of-date or inaccurate
• You are finding it hard to find things on the site
• Updating the site is getting more and more complex
• The appearance is becoming dated
• You've lost track of all the pages on the site

Another major reason to use CMS is to protect your self in a legal dispute. CMS allows you to store previous content on web page that have recently been deleted or changed.

Thankfully, these problems are what a content management system is specifically designed to solve.
