There are many different types of website design to choose from, depending on your business depends what best suits you.

HTML

This is what the World Wide Web browsing was founded on, HTML was designed to just contain information to be displayed by the web browser. Later CSS was added to this to allow the website to have a better design to the site, rather than just plain information. Before CSS, people used various coding inside the HTML document that browsers where able to use.

For a small websites, where content doesn’t change often, HTML is usually used as it is much more plain and simple for people that are doing the websites themselves as their is less to learn.

This is usually the fastest to load on web browsers and least activity on the server.

PHP

The PHP language is great for creating dynamic content, for example within your website you may wish to display the time, however in HTML you would need to change this every minute as the time  changes.

With PHP you can create a command to ask the server to fill in this information with content generated when the script is launched, therefore displays the current time.

PHP is required for websites with login’s or other various security systems, where certain content is not visible publicly.

Content Management Systems

‘CMS’ use PHP and possibly a few other script languages within it, to display a user interface that allows you to edit content on your website, the editor often allows you to create standard HTML, or even have it done in Word like format. This is appealing to many customers as they have the ability to edit their own website.
