Dynamic Content

A good web site should have current information. Generally, you (the client) have the most current information, so you should have the power to update many things yourself.

Much of the information on your site will be permanent. Occasionally, this information may need a bit of updating. Perhaps you're a band and one band member moves away. You need to update the biographies with a new member. In such a case, you'd just send me the new information and I'll get it up right away. (Even when I'm on the road, I try to have e-mail access every evening and most such changes can be done from wherever I happen to be.)

However, there's probably going to be information on your site which will change frequently. When that's the case, we set up a mechanism where you have direct control over the content.

Here are a few examples of such client-controlled information on some of my sites:

In each of these cases, the client has access to a private user-friendly entrance to a database and makes changes whenever necessary.

Some changes are predictable and periodical. With most webmasters, these changes get forgotten. On our sites, the changes happen automatically as they are programmed into the page. Check these examples:

All of these pages have information which could get out of date but never will because the information updates itself automatically.
