Looks good - are you using a content management system for it? It certainly looks the piece - wish I had the time to do it with this one

I'm not using a content management system exactly (although that would be nice

). The main problem with my current site is it is a real pain to mass update it - for example to change anything in the menu system means I have to change it on every single page (100+ pages!). That was something I was not prepared to do.

Then I began learning PHP and learned about the function it has to include pages inside other pages and set about designing this site with the main aim being to make it look good but be very easy for me to update.

I have created a sort of PHP based template system that can easily be adapted for each different section and has multiple pages included in that one file. The top header and horizontal menu is one include, the login section another and the vertical side menu another etc. I have a few bugs in it to sort out before I can really get going with the other sections but I though I might as well trial it first

Good thing that people seem to like it too!

There are a number of free PHP content management systems out there, if you want to go down that route. Some are more difficult than others to set up and use though, so worth some browsing first.

I may have a look around then and see whats on offer. I never have really looked before but now updating the site regularly and easily is my main priority it may well be worth having a look.
