website navigation/template/database

[tinapa]

hi guys, i have posted this on the "website forum" but i don't know if that's the correct place for this question. my apologies. (site admin, please bear with me)

can you give me ideas how to make something like this website?

http://www.bankofengland.co.uk

if you click a button from the horizontal menu, it gives submenus of the left side of the page.

do you think this site only has one template to do that sort of navigation?

what i want is dynamically-driven using only one template/page using database and server-scripting. the submenus should also be database-driven.

can this be done?

thanks for any input.

are you using the webforms model?
are you implementing your own MVP framework along with the webforms?
are you using a 3rd party MVP framework along with the webforms?
are you using a home roled MVC framework?
are you using a 3rd part MVC framework like monorail or ms mvc?

this will determine how you build the menus and templates. there are basically 2 parts.
1. html
2. domain model
the two work together but one doesn't rely on the other.
