Since "Brotherhood's" last reply I've continued coding my more than 100 pages (now in Word format). The site will be loaded with links across the pages along with image maps. I have successfully set up a PHP contact-me arrangement in another website. I'm still not sure about a need to employ other "dynamic" features.

Thinking that the "not sure" is because I'm not familiar with the capability I've begun to study javascript as well as getting deeper into PHP & SQL.

Meanwhile the time consumption penalty of testing without a local server nags at me.

I've found a web master who provides a description of setting up a server (with Apache) on my existing PC. It sounds relatively straight forward and inexpensive.

What disadvantages might this approach entail. Could it be a worthwhile step toward a separate local server if that becomes necessary?
