Re: Is this idea new or already taken?

CV, this is a CMS!

Take Wordpress for example.

You can have pages, which are static. You can add, delete and edit them, but otherwise they are simply chunks of info stored in a database.

When a user requests information, the CMS pumps out the corresponding page.


I think you're getting confused with the definition between static and dynamic sites and content (and I admit it can be!)


Static sites consist of physical files with the content hard-coded within the file.

Dynamic sites consist of a database and template files to output content, based on the user's request. However, the pages the user views do not exist *physically*.

In other words, a site can be dynamic even if the content is static.
