Now that you know the limitations of static sites, you can see how one-dimensional this site structure is. There are no relationships between issues and articles, and the only method for accessing archives requires extended effort by the reader, which assumes a reader's ability to structure a successful search. Even for experienced web readers, this can be a frustrating and discouraging process. To demonstrate what a dynamic site is, we illustrate how Dispatch maximizes the value of a publication's archives by creating immediate and infinite reader paths.
 In a dynamic site, we stop thinking about publications simply as issues. Instead, every element of a site is cataloged to create relationships based on authors, artists, keywords, articles, subjects, sections, story types, dates, page positions, column threads, and more. The end result is what we refer to as the "Dispatch Effect." As you can see, this is the same site from the static example, but it now has numerous relational links represented by the interconnecting blue lines. The enlarged page lists some of the new reader paths now possible.
