I'm going to be giving at talk at Softech in San Rafael next week, about the benefits of database-driven sites and how Webvanta makes them much easier to build.
We believe that many web sites that are using static designs today would provide a better user experience, have better SEO, and be easier to maintain if they were database-driven. In the past, the cost and complexity of building sites in this way discouraged most designers from considering it. Now that's changed.
