A [[dynamic website]] is a highly complex system, made up of a hierarchy of files written in a mixture of [[HTML]], [[CSS]] and a [[scripting language]], and connected to a [[database]]. The website script dynamically reconstructs the [[web page]] each time the server receives a request for the page from a client. It uses a standard format stored in the file system, and fetches the appropriate contect for each page element from the website's database. A [[dynamic website]] is generally implemented by using a [[Content Management System]] (CMS), selected from among the many that are available for creating and managing dynamic websites. While use of a CMS simplifies deployment of a [[dynamic website]], such deployment requires knowing how to install and use the CMS software, and generally also requires some knowledge of database management, scripting languages and other more advanced Internet skills. | A [[dynamic website]] is a highly complex system, made up of a hierarchy of files written in a mixture of [[HTML]], [[CSS]] and a [[scripting language]], and connected to a [[database]].
