Dynamic Web Site: A Web site that utilizes client and server technologies such as jQuery, AJAX, PHP, and mySQL to provide a truly interactive experience. These technologies allow the user to submit and retrieve information, and often involve the generation of Web pages on-the-fly. Simple Web page creation tools are not capable of building dynamic Web pages - experienced programmers are required to design and build reliable and maintainable dynamic Web sites.
