No Time for Design?
Save time by using templates for your next web site. Your site will look better than ever!
Scripts are special programs which run on the server and display a web page after they are run. Scrips are very useful when you want to have some dynamic content on your website; that is content which changes with time.
Let's say you want to put a guest book on your web page. If you were to do it without a script, each time someone wrote in your guest book, you would have to add a new entry to the guest book page and put the new guest book on the server. But a script allows for complete automation of this process: new entries are displayed as soon as users sign the guest book. This is because the script stores all the entries on the server and can display them immediately.
There are several languages in which you can write scripts for your website. Most popular are PHP, Perl and ASP. If you know one of them, you can write scripts for your website on your own. There are also tons of ready-made scripts available, which you can download from the Internet and use on your site. Note that, however, even if you use a pre-made script, some basic knowledge of the scripting language may be required in order to configure the script properly.
