However, Dreamweaver creates templates that can be utilized to update every page on your Web site. Typically, you might want to have a standard header and footer on a Web page. You might even employ something like a copyright date in the footer. Unfortunately, that means every year you will need to change the copyright date. If you use a Dreamweaver template for all your Web pages you would only need to change the date once.
Every page using that template is automatically updated.
One of the best features in using templates is that you can take a group of documents and quickly create a Web site with a standard look and feel. I was recently asked to put a list of films on my library's Web site. It was a huge list that took about a minute to download over a 28.8K modem. I decided to break it down into 26 lists, one for each letter of the alphabet. Instant Web site.
