Most web frameworks use some sort of templating system to create the
pages, rather than create each page individually. Look at leafe.com or
dabodev.com: both use a main template that contains the header, the navigation,
the design elements, etc. Then each page only has to define the content that is
unique to it. The templating system merges the master template with the page
content when the request is made, and returns that to the web browser.
The big advantage is that if you need to change the look and feel of
the entire website, you only have one file to edit: the master template. You
can see more info about how this works in the templating system I use (Mako)
