When I first started designing and building websites as a profession they were mostly static sites. These basically consist of HTML pages coded manually or with an HTML editor and simply adding images and content. This is fine if you only have a small website of 20 pages however if it expands to 1000 pages it becomes very difficult to maintain. For example if you wish to add an image to 1000 pages you would have to add the image to each page separately. A way around this is to use templates or server-side includes (SSI) however a more efficient method is to create a database driven website.
