Re: How to avoid a dynamic e-commerce site
Why am I getting so much heat about this? Had we known back when we first started the site that we would have over 5,000 pages and over 80,000 SKUs we probably wouldn't have gone this route. In fact...why don't you try to think about what options were really available in the late 90's. The only pre-fab cart that was available at the time was MIVA and that totally SUCKED.
I'm not averse to a complete overhaul. In fact, that's what I've been planning for about the past two years. I just never really figured out a viable solution. The way I see it, you can have the server generate pages for you automatically ie.: dynamic pages or you can create static pages. Why can't the pages be automatically generated for you on your local computer the way that dynamic pages are generated on the server and then just uploaded to the server? Why should a page be regenerated by the server everytime someone requests it? It's not like each of our 5,000 pages changes every single day. We might have a page that doesnt need to be updated for 3+ years.
Yes I do believe NJ is just about 24 hours or less of a drive away from FL.
