dynamic sites.
•Developer independent.
•Dynamic sites are usually
built in a specific way, with a specific framework, and thus
requires a developer with a specific skill set to manage.
 DISADVANTAGES OF STATIC WEBSITES
•Might have higher maintenance costs if the content
WEB changes often.
1.0 •No user registrations, or advanced functionality
usually connected with dynamic sites.

can be a problem during public holidays, or on short
notice.
 SOME EXAMPLES OF STATIC WEBSITES

WEB 2.0
 Features of Web 2.0
WEB 2.0 1. FOLKSONOMY – Allows users to
categorize and classify/arrange
information using freely chosen
keywords (e.g., tagging).

Popular social networking sites such as

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use
tags that start with the pound sign (#).
This is also referred to as hashtag.
 Features of Web 2.0
WEB 2.0 2. RICH USER EXPERIENCE
Content is dynamic and is responsive
to user’s input.
An example would be a website that
shows local content. In the case of
social networking sites, when logged
on, your account is used to modify
what you see in their website.
 Features of Web 2.0
WEB 2.0 3. USER PARTICIPATION
The owner of the website is not the only one
who can put content. Others can place a
content of their own by means of comment,
reviews, and evaluation.

Some websites allow readers to comment on

an article, participate in a poll, or review a
specific product (e.g., Amazon.com, online
stores).
 Features of Web 2.0
4. SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE
WEB 2.0 Users will subscribe to a software only when needed
rather than purchasing them. This is a cheaper
option if you do not always need to use a software.

For instance, Google Docs is a free web-based

application that allows the user to create and edit
word processing and spreadsheet documents online.

When you need a software, like a Word Processor,

you can purchase it for a one-time huge amount and
install it in your computer and it is yours forever.
Software as a service allows you to “rent” a software
for a minimal fee.
 Features of Web 2.0
WEB 2.0 5. MASS PARTICIPATION

sharing through universal web
access.
Since most users can use the
Internet, Web 2.0’s content is
based on people from various
cultures.

to your question by “learning from your previous
choices

Example:
Apple’s Siri
