Roman Cart says that dynamic code is bad?

Full Article:

From the Roman Cart site:

We strongly recommend that you create your website using html, and not a server side language such as php or asp. The reason for this is that Google will find your products on standard html pages, but is a lot less likely to if your site is dynamic in php, asp or any other server side language. As Google is driving most sales on e-commerce websites, this is an important consideration. Research has shown that you will make less sales if the area of your site listing your products is not in plain html. Plain html pages can be identified because their address will end in ‘.htm’ or ‘.html’. Please remember this if you are considering using any of our competitors offerings.

I’d REALLY love to see the research in that development – from what I know, that is contrary to much of the popular opinion now adays… especially considering dynamic code is parsed just like a browser when google comes by. Care to comment on that one Roman Cart? I’ve sent you an email.

    Step one when assessing a software product — “Does the company have a clue about the environment for which they are developing?”

    Umm.. FAIL.
    Sorry, but if they’re this naive about simple stuff like markup, there’s absolutely no chance I’d trust their security. Heck, ZenCart aren’t this silly but they have just been bitten by the ‘unitialized variable’ + ‘register_globals’ security hole and that’s a beginner-level mistake!

    We’re in desperate need of a quality, standards compatible, shopping cart – Cube Cart would be perfect for me if it wasn’t template HTML:(
