I was just trying to point out what I see as the obvious design choice - don't have one monolithic program trying to paint your entire website. Divide and conquer so that changes are confined to one module at a time - your Top program, your Footer program, Menu program, whatever... Those pieces probably won't change much. Then the actual content of the page (i.e. the inventory) is pretty much data driven - in fact if you set up your data properly it could prolly be completely data driven. This is the code that will display each item, the graphic, the link etc. Like I said, this isn't hard, more tedious than anything else... Frames... tough call, but unless you do Flash (way beyond my skills) or something, me thinks you pretty much have to in order to have the page formated the way you have it with the menu on the left side.
