> > Entire website in GWT, yes/no ? > I would say no. There are two types of websites -
- *Content driven* - which share information. Think blogs, corporate websites, forums etc. SEO is usually important. And content is almost always delivered over http. - *Interaction driven* - in which the user and site interact closely, typically involving ajax. Think web apps like gmail, google docs, facebook. Here, the content is usually specific to a user, and is typically delivered after login. So, you'd want https, and wouldn't care much about SEO. You can build both kinds of websites with GWT, but it really is suited for the interactive web-apps. For content-driven websites, GWT is an overkill. You have to do a lot of extra work to make it SEO friendly. Modifying content will require a re-build, which gets bugging after a point. There are ways to get around these limitations, but its just not worth it. I would recommend you split your website into two parts along the above lines. For the website portion, use whatever technology you are familiar with, make it SEO friendly, and deliver it over http. For the interactive portion, use GWT. That way, you get best of both worlds. --Sri On 2 April 2010 19:29, Katharina Probst <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Abdullah, > > to make your app searchable, you may also want to consider looking at > http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling.
