Hi, Stuart.
>thanks for that certainly makes sense to me :)
Yes, dynamic pages are perfectly indexable (I have many websites like that) and you can even apply SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques to them.
However, there are cirmcumstances in which generated static pages are a good solution. Not sure if that applies to that case, but when you have:
- infrequent updates
- high consumption
- needs for distribution networks (like Akamai)
- needs to port the content to different platform servers
then you can make good use of statically generated content. Indeed, many media websites (like newspapers) have their home pages statically generated every 5 minutes or so. You can always put that contained within a more common web site, but static HTML is the most scalable solution in many cases.
