I'm not sure you have got the hang of GWT if you think you need a different module for each sub-page.
You definitely haven't if you think you need templates. There will be one HTML page with all but nothing in it, so where is the need for a template? If you want a template for 'a left menu and a main pane' put a vertical panel and a simple panel in a horizontal panel. and save these three lines of code somewhere. Unless your site has large chunks of disparate functionality (e.g. a fully-functioned email client, a comprehensive word-processor, and an on-line shop with thousands of products in many different categories) then you don't need more than one module, and under those circumstances, you would probably have separate applications. Forget separate modules: you either a) don't need them because an application your size doesn't warrant it, or b) you are attempting something really stupidly large for someone starting out with GWT (like replicating the BBC web site). Start off with something simple, like replicating Gmail's functionality. That would be one application, one module and one entrypoint. Send me a spec for this mystery site of yours, and I'll send you a simple basic design.
