Why are database-driven sites better?
Database-driven sites allow the site owner or administrator the ability to maintain their own site. This keeps the long term costs lower as the client does not need to pay maintenance fees to keep content up-to-date. Many clients also find that this actually helps them to keep their site more current as the costs are lower and the turnaround time is faster. Further, database-driven sites provide a higher level of interactivity with visitors. Visitors can execute custom searches, save results, interact dynamically with maps, and generally customize their own experience on the site assuming the site model and content lend themselves to such functionality.
