Dynamic site

static + dynamic site - how to strike a balance

[contentmaster]

Hi
I am working on a stone exporter's website.....Its been made in frontpage and is more or less content based with simple graphics.....the site has been doing well from Search Engine point of view...however, now my boss is looking for a more dynamic site with search options, discussion forums and interactive characters....something like bonzi buddy.....Is it recommended to have such a home page or is it better to have a link to such a section ...so that the already achieved positions are not adversely effected...Also i think this kind of a section wl require a lot of programming too?
Any ideas? I need to advice soon!

He will explore the Internet with you as your very own friend and sidekick! He can talk, walk, joke, browse, search, e-mail, and download like no other friend you've ever had! Best of all, he's FREE!

Err is he sure he wants to do this?

Site search and forums can be helpful, but the majority of sites probably don't need them. I guess mention of this "bonzi buddy" makes me suspicous...

Try to add links (inconspicuous linkshidden) to exiting pages to these new features.
