Hi

Seriously no one has any ideas for this ? I could really do with the help.

I am doing some work for a Freight company and we want to produce fairly simply coded html/css websites for all the countries we deal with. Around 50.

The content for each will be individual but the layout, page names and colouring exactly the same.

I have been advised to use templates in SQL but have only experience producing one off websites, and very limited experience using My Sql with CMS type Web Design.

I would rather create this in a way that the pages are html i.e /contact.html rather than <php includes> type pages, is this possible.

An example of a competitors website which bascially used this type of setup is

expressfreightgermany.co.uk

That is the same as expressfreightdenmark.co.uk etc etc etc. but to look at the page source you would'nt know ?

Also if you did use this route how would you edit the individual sites.

Any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.

A tutorial to do this would be wonderful if such a thing exists.

Thanks

Conrad

The fastest way to do it would be with PHP, I know you said you weren't into using includes but you could create simple header.php, sidebar.php, content.php and footer.php for example and just call them where you need them.
