# What is Dynamic Content?

## Want to add content - such as a blog, team, news, portfolio, etc.? Cherry-pick content from your collections, based on certain parameters, and autopopulate both overview and detail pages, automating repetitive tasks.

### Static content

A webpage with static content is **hard-coded** and consists of elements that are **created one by one.** Although there is a time and place for the benefits of static content, it is considered **impractical for content that is constantly changing.** Think of bulk content such as a blog, team, news, portfolio, product catalog, etc. that would require you to **manually duplicate** and **adjust large amounts** of content to build and maintain. This, of course, is something you want to avoid. Hence, dynamic content. 

### Dynamic content

A dynamic content webpage **changes**, **based on the data you feed it**. The idea is that you **collect and** **store data** - or bulk content, in a **collection** - often referred to as a database. These collections consist of a generated list and a dynamic page. Think of an **overview page** with all data, on the one hand - a blog for example, and a **detail page** on the other hand - a blog article, for example. 

As opposed to a webpage with static content, dynamic content is **not hard-coded**. Instead, it:

- is generated 'dynamically', referencing a CMS or (external) collection
- **automatically adapts** to a number of predefined parameters represented by data fields, such as categories
- allows you to **render content from a collection**, both on an overview page and detail page.  

**Note:** Before you can implement collections on your website, you or your project owner need to [activate the *Dynamic Content* module](https://support.sitemanager.io/en/implenting-dynamic-content?hsLang=en#add-dynamic-module) in your *General Project Settings.*
