XHTML / CSS:

Sites like this can be made in Dreamweaver, Photoshop or any text editor. They are often cheaper, but they are best used for a one-time deal. When it comes to making changes, they can be cumbersome and costly; depending upon the changes required. Alternatively, an open source CMS like Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal could be used to make a site about as fast as any other method; depending upon the layout. If a still layout and look is the ultimate outcome, a Photoshop file converted to XHTML/CSS is a good choice. 

Open Source Content Management Systems:

Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal are three major examples of common open source CMS. With a CMS, you can login, make text changes and save them during a coffee break. A CMS allows you to grow and add-on in the future, unlike a static site which requires html coding to make changes. CMS can be expanded to add shopping carts, a monthly magazine, directories, classified ads section, calendar, video galleries, booking manager, alternative slide shows, paid membership area, forum, blog or any other php/mysql script.

Codeigniter PHP Framework:

Codeigniter is one of the most popular PHP frameworks. PHP frameworks allow web developers to create custom applications. The reason to use such a framework would be to speed up custom development. With so many web technologies, Bohemia Website Services will listen to your needs and make the proper decision regarding how to build your website with any combination of html/css, php/mysql, php framework and a content management system. Samples for which to use a php framework would be very secure job application forms, contact forms and shopping cart.  

Flash Websites:

Flash websites have the look which can dazzle the eye because they have the ability to combine video, text and images for which to create fancy movements with actionscript programming. Flash websites look very nice. But, SEO is not ideal with Flash websites without extra work, nor is adding content. A very nice combination is the usage of Flash within a content management system or framework so that style and text can merge together without making SEO a cumbersome process.
