It is not difficult to hand code ten static product pages with all the information such as name, product number, description, image, price, etc. However, if you anticipate your site growing (which we all hope your site does) and you add 10 more products this month, and 20 more next month and eventually your prices change and you want to change the look and feel of your site, creating 100's of static pages is not efficient. Why? Because you will need to hire a programmer to re-code all these pages by hand. In contrast, let's say your programmer created one page that is called product.php. Instead of holding static information, it's coded to pull information out of your database and build a page dynamically. Each product in your store will use the product.php page. The product information stored in the database will display on the page about each product. The information about each product can now be modified at the same time the information is changed in the database.
