Most small businesses started out with a small, “static” website. In order for the business to update their static website, they had to contact their website development company and request that the changes be made. It is for this reason that they are not updated very often and remain “static” for a long period of time.

For some purposes a static web site is a good place to start or it may even be all you need. An example of a business that may only need a static web site is a small accommodation operation like a Bed & Breakfast. If the only information that is likely to change is the prices and then only every couple of years, it may not make financial sense to have any more than a static brochure type site.

If you wanted to take reservations or bookings online, then you would need to upgrade to a database driven web site. This would put a lot of Web Site Designers out of the running.

A static website mainly serves to provide a business with basic online presence.

Examples of some Brochure websites we have built.

Qualicum Bay Resort A Campground, cottage, RV resort in Qualicum Bay. The website makes use of 360° photography and special software to display the pictures in a dynamic manner.

Coombs Cottage A small accommodation operator in Coombs B.C. The website is a basic 5 page brochure with links to an outside availability calendar.

Ocean Estates real Estate Developers in the Comox Valley. The website uses JavaScript to rotate images allowing the client to show a lot of pictures in a small space. Use of "Gadgets" like this should be limited and only if needed.
