    Hello,
    I have a menu and other items that will be all the pages. Right now I have coded each page individually. I am sure there is a better way of doing that. Is there a way to make it so I don't have to code each page individually. I change in one place and that changes it all? It is being done in almost all website I am not sure how to accomplish that. Thanks in advance............

    If you use php then you can make some sort of modular design ... each section of the page you make its own file and just include it with php include function...

    You can use Dreamweaver, it is great in doing this kind of things.
    It has a feature called templates. if you create a web site, each page you add to it will have the basics you decide in the template page.

    Probably not a good idea for me at this point since I don't have the software.

    As iatbm has mentioned you are best going with php and just use the 'include" function to include what ever section you need to include for that bit of the page.

    My sit was all template based using Dreamweaver but as things start to grow I found I needed different items on different pages. Moving over to php has mad this possible and a lot less complicated for me.

    If you don't have Dreamweaver then I would suggest you try and have a go of this free tool http://www.nvu.com/index.php
