Using dynamic content to create static pages
The PageGenerator feature of GoLive lets you generate a series of static or nondynamic pages based on templates and content sources. This feature is useful for sites whose content varies infrequently or on a regular schedule, such as an online weekly magazine, catalog, or a small company's employee directory. The live site is not dynamic and does not require the special server software required by a site that generates pages dynamically. Generating the static site requires a development or staging Web server that supports the dynamic content technology you use to generate the static pages. You end up having two sites: a dynamic site you use to generate static pages, and a static site you serve up to the public.
You can also use static page generation to create reports, images, or other Web pages that are based on a template and some external data source.
