Hate to say this, but Front Page does this well with no templates, Create a paage called NavTop.htm and NavSide.htm. These are the navigation bar that you'd like to include on each page. NavTop is in horizontal format for along the top or bottom of the page and NavSide is in vertical format.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that just what a frame is? There was an earlier post referring to frames as a negative. I'm not sure I understand why, as most browsers have been frame compatible for a couple of versions (at least) by now. Am I missing something?
Constructive criticism welcomed,

Want to see a site with frames that isn't cross-browser? Take a look at http://www.scifitcanada.com/ and actually enter the site. The developer used a pop-up window (don't ask me why; I'm bidding on the revamp, though). In all flavours of IE, the site looks fine. In Netscape 4.x, there are small gaps between the frames. Since the logo across the top actually stretches into two frames, there is a lovely little gap in the middle of the word FIT. And the large square that holds the content is pushed down and to the right, throwing off the alignment of the right-hand frame too. In Netscape 6 the pop-up blows apart completely, and the frames scatter to the edges of a full-screen window.

Because of the cross-browser issues and the search engine issues, I'll avoid using frames as much as possible.
