I have to build a html website, which will contain about 50+ pages. The whole website will have a common look and feel. I wanted to know if there is a provision of master templates in building html websites, so that like in asp.net i can make a master page and then build html pages deriving from the master page. That way if i have to add a new link or change in the page layout i will not have to edit 50+ html pages. Any help?
I can use Dreamweaver CS3 or Expression Studio 2.
I will rephrase
I have worked with ASP.NET and Master Pages and i know HTML is Static and ASP is dynamic (server side). I loved the ease which Master Pages provided, and since my hosting supports only HTML so i had to downgrade myself, and that is when i felt the need of having a wizard which can handle all the pages and update them if i make any change in the default page’s layout.
Thus i cannot use serverside includes because i am not sure if my webserver supports it. Any other alternative, if it is dreamweaver can you tell me which feature exactly is it. Is it possible in expression web 2 too as well?
Here is a tutorial from Chris Leeds on using Expression Web 2 to achieve a similar result using Dynamic Web Templates.
