HTML and HTML5 are the core of almost every website design and website development project. As a web design company in Toronto, at Zarban we also employ these languages to design part of our static, dynamic or custom website projects.

While HTML and HTML5 are essential programming parts of every web design project, it’s not practical and possible to finalize such project by using only these two languages. (In such case, the website called static website)

On one hand, clients expect to be able to update the website content by themselves or via hiring an experienced employee and on the other hand there are security and functional concerns that must be addressed by more advanced programming languages and toolkits.

To address these requirements and look out of the scope of a static or basic html web design, we use the power of content management systems (same as WordPress and Joomla and their templates) and the concept of server side and client side programming languages same as JAVA, React, ASP.Net and JQuery as well.

SQL Server and MY SQL database management systems are also part of our development kit.

HTML5 & HTML Websites are visually strong and in most cases device friendly. This means the a single HTML Page is flexible enough to show it’s content on almost every digital device including Desktop, Laptop, Table and Smart Phone.

Websites designed using HTML & HTML5 technologies are suitable for official or personal purposes specially if it comes to last minute meetings, exhibitions or presentations.

Almost every desktop publishing software can understand and support editing / modification of HTML & HTML5 web pages. This provide an in house possibility for computer users with Basic knowledge to design or re-design their websites directly.

On the other hand, HTML and HTML5 web pages are not strong enough to provide professional and safe functionalities for such websites including connecting to Databases, Web Services or Content Management Systems (CMS). This can limit the abilities of such websites to simple presentation and data gathering purposes.

That depends on case, your expectations from a business website and your website development plans for future. If you just need a simple web page to show business address or contact information or just few images to present sample of your work, it makes sense to use a static web page design.

If you need any kind of data gathering, blog, modern visual elements or website integration with third party service providers, static web design cannot be completely employed. There are templates, sample Java Script or VB Script codes on Internet to provide data gathering or visual effects for this kind of websites, but they may cause serious security, spamming and data hijacking problems for your business website.

It’s also should be mentioned that while the design and maintenance cost of a static web site is less than a dynamic website design project, their vulnerability against internet attacks and low search engine optimization results are considerable and risky for almost any kind of business.

• Easy to design & modify.
• Basic HTML or HTML5 knowledge is enough.
• Basic, low cost or even free hosting services can be employed.
• Fast to design and implement, normally no testing, QA or release procedure required.

• Hard to develop or extend.
• Data gathering or professional visual designs cannot be provided for such websites.
• Vulnerable against internet attacks or website hack activities.
• Modern search engine optimization techniques cannot be used on static websites.
• Special design considerations required to make a static website mobile friendly.

In conclusion, as there are modern, up to date and affordable website design techniques with better rate of return of investment, we do not suggest static website design to our clients.

• How long are you going to use the static Website?
• How many times do you want to update such websites per day/week/month?
• Have you enough technical knowledge (Specially HTML & HTML5) to modify such websites by yourself?

While there are tons of free & beautiful static website templates on Internet and everyone can download, modify and upload them to a website hosting space, we strongly recommend our clients to prevent such actions.

It looks pocket friendly and affordable but may cause serious security, spamming and data hijacking problems for any kind of website no matter how strong or safe the hosting service is.

In general there is also no technical support, user guide or document for such templates. There are modern, high quality and licensed website templates which a web design company can use to design an eye catching and professional website for your business.

It costs more than a free template but it’s safer and highly recommended by all professional website design companies around the world.
