Are websites with .asp urls old style?

Discussion in 'C#' started by CCK, Nov 14, 2008.

    One of our clients has a web site with urls that end .asp

    They want to totaly redesign their site (i am not a developer) and they were wondering if this can be done with .asp or if they should move to a knew language and use a 301 redirect.

    Please excuse my lack of knowledge in this area.

    .asp sounds like older mickysoft ASP (active server pages)
    newer asp uses the extension .aspx

    As i thought it is a bit dated. Site is several hundred pages in size. Would the best option be to start again with redirects?

    when only new optics is needed and you never ran into security problems - why revert?

    I think it will be better if you can only re-design it. I don't prefer you to re-code it. Please let me know if you need help in ASP...

    asp is still good technology and works well. There are a lot of design advantages in moving to aspx, but it'll be a lot of work. If you're just re-skinning, then you might as well stick with asp.

    Even if you are only redesigning it, you still will need some knowledge of ASP so you can work around the code and place it in the correct places... It depends on how the site is coded. You may also need to change parts of the code.

    Is the site dynamic (database-driven)? If not, the pages may be HTML with .asp extensions (waste here, because the parser has to check the file for asp code). If the site is dynamic and it uses a fat-client design, you might be in for a challenge. If the site uses traditional includes for header, footer, and other UI components it will help out.

    What the heck does all of that mean :)

    The site is created in dreamweaver and edited in contribute. There are standard includes -

    menu
    header
    footer
    banner
    etc.

    Is is possible to simply get a new skin for this type of site?

    I think asp is still best scripting. I can't see many difference with asp.net unless your site is another ebay.

    asp.net would be better in terms of maintainability, extension and ease.

    Cant see the difference between ASP (scripting language) and ASP.Net (OOP) ??????

    Option 1 is to 301 redirect all the pages but perhaps the more sensible option if you are moving away from ASP to something else is to reassign the .asp extension to the framework/ language you build the new site in on the server thus not having to do any redirections (plus there is arguably a security benefit in "tricking" people into thinking a site is one language when it is actually another)
