3.1. How much Generated Content do you Need?
- How much of your site should be scriptable?
- Company sites with various products, with changing the content very rarely, and at most a "Contact Us" handler, are better off left as static HTML.
- A news site, search engine, online store, etc. require a site that should be generated by a suitable back-end.
- It is tempting to make an entire site auto-generated just to have a common look and feel.
- This wastes CPU, makes the site venerable for security breaches, etc.
- Common Look and feel, a navigation bar, etc. can be achieved with pre-generated content as well.
