If your website is large, with dozens and dozens (if not hundreds and hundreds) of pages, you will need to use a method that allows you to store all the non-variable information that appears on each page of your website into one file, so that you will only need to update the non-variable information once, rather than dozens (if not hundreds) of times.
Here’s a screen capture of the Dreamweaver Template function:
This functions much like a server-side include, allowing you to update many pages at once with the same non-variable text.
Using Dreamweaver’s Tempate function not only makes the web designer’s task easier, it ensures accuracy: nothing generates errors more quickly into a website than the recopying of material from page to page. The smart choice is to establish a navigation template that doesn’t vary in content, and then construct that template using the Dreamweaver Template function.






Background music and sounds for your site can be effective, but it is important to use a file format that allows for quick downloading—otherwise, the music or sound will suddenly begin to play well after the user has opened the page, often startling them when they are not anticipating the sound.
