When I designed our site over a year ago I knew nothing about web design (still don't know that much).
The site is 100% static, we have about 200 products and all pricing is hardcoded to the 100 html pages. This makes
price changes a major problem.

I want to add some type of database or lookup so that we can easily make price changes in one spot and not in all 100+ html pages.

I have considered a mysql database and php but not totally thrilled to remane the 100+ pages from .htm to .php, do the re-directs, etc. The 100+ pages have good PR and rank high in the SERPs (wish our index page did - Florida too care that but that is another subject)

Any suggestions? Is is possible to make a new html page with all of the prices and pass these variables to the other pages?

Thanks

Im not sure, but you can do the .php trick with .htaccess and phpinclude modification.

Thanks... the problem with the php route is that 100+ pages will have to be re-named.

Any other suggestions?
