reinventing my website

[kosar]

we currently use asp, being all the pages are being generated through functions, could this be hindering our site as far as ranking goes? i fi were to rewrite the site what would you suggest?

ASP won't hinder your site's rankings, Kosar. What COULD hinder it are query strings, particularly long query strings or ones that contain SessionIDs. There's nothing inherent in ASP (or PHP, etc.) that will cause you a problem, but you have to avoid common shortcuts like not assigning an appropriate title for each page.

Some SEs, notably Google, are getting quite good at handling dynamic pages with query strings, but I'm still a fan of avoiding query strings when possible. ISAPI Rewrite and other software will convert messy query strings into structured, static-appearing URLs.
