I am have having a problem with figuring out how to set up templates or
includes that will word for a designer as well as coder.

I want to set up the page to use a top and left side header and navigation
area that my designer (who knows little about html and just wants to change
links and content) can change and modify and all the other pages will be
updated.

I don't think I want to use templates as they cause all kinds of problems if
you mix html and aspx pages. They constantly change the Page directive.

I was looking at an include file, but I can't make changes to the page
itself. I have to go to the include file and make the changes. This would
be fine, but it is the code in the include file that the design person is
going to change (mainly links).

I was wondering if there was a better way to handle this?

Thanks,

Tom
