Internet sites can be designed and built in different ways and types depending on the needs of the company or the person who commissions them.

Three different types of sites are listed and briefly described below:

HTML sites
Flash sites
Sites on CMS platform

Creation of sites in HTML

The Hypertext Markup Language which translated into Italian Means Markup Language for Hypertexts is not a real programming language (it does not provide any definition of variables, data structures, functions, control structures), but we can define it as a formatting language that describes the layout and graphics of an Internet site.

On the market, there are also software-defined WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get “what you see is what is / or you get”), which facilitate and speed up the automatic compilation of the code without having to write it manually. They are software to be used with great caution as they do not guarantee the cleanliness of the code necessary to make the display of the site uniform on all browsers.

The manual writing of the code, on the other hand, guarantees its cleaning, and if well-structured according to the W3C consortium standard, it allows its validation and the security of being seen in the same way by all types of browsers.

However, a site written in HTML has the drawback of not allowing easy updating unless it is integrated with PHP programming or other languages.

It is generally suitable for showcase sites that do not require continuous updates.

Sites made in Flash

Beautiful, fascinating sites that require artistic skills from the “designer”. A site made in Flash, due to its creativity and multimedia, is capable of generating emotions in the user compared to static sites in HTML.

Pros

A well-made Flash site is fascinating and certainly attracts visitors

Cons

In our opinion, the cons are more numerous than the pros, in fact Flash:

1) is more difficult to index by search engines

2) is more difficult to update. It’s like working on a film that has to be shot until the update point is found and then modified.

3) Realization costs are higher as it takes more time to develop than other types.

Sites created on the CMS platform

Content Management System, acronym CMS (content management system), is a content management system that allows easy management of an Internet site, also suitable for those webmasters who do not have specific technical knowledge of Web programming, guaranteeing an easy update.

In a nutshell, these CMS could be used by professionals and also by those unfamiliar with programming obviously with the necessary differences.

Among the most popular CMS, we can list: WordPress and Joomla both with GNU licenses and therefore free. Using these CMSs contributes to significant savings compared to other proprietary CMSs that have a fixed starting cost.

WordPress

is a CMS software with which it is possible to create blogs or even very beautiful websites in an absolutely simple way and within everyone’s reach? It is free under the GNU license and is available in all languages of the world.

The basic software is supported by hundreds of programmers who take care of its stability and security for free. Thousands of plugins and themes are available to transform your site into anything imaginable. Over 60 million people have chosen WordPress to be present on the net with their companies or their personal blogs.

Joomla

is a Content Management System (CMS) created by the same developers who brought Mambo CMS to its current state of development, winning several international awards.

Joomla! is the phonetic translation of the Swahili word “Jumla”, which means “all together” or “in unison”.

The name Joomla was chosen from the suggestions of the community, and after selection by professionals in the field of branding and marketing, it was decided that Joomla! it is the best proposal among many.
