Use html only or need database

[bubble]

Hi,
I need to design a website for a shop, it only need to display item information such as Code, description, price and display images, no online order, payment system needed.

But the shop site content need to be updatable by shop owner, do I must use database for the updating content area?

Anybody can help, please give some advice.
Many thank!

You do not have to, but I would use a database. This would give you greatest control over the way products are finally placed on the page, as the client has only control over content. Use for instance 2 tables, one in which you store the suppliers' details (Such as website, name, description, item categories etcetc) and a table with individual products.

However.. If you are going to do this, I would start of with some simpler things first; Building a site on commission requires that you do know what you are doing, and dynamic websites are potential security traps..
