Say you have a static site that use generated using a dynamic inhouse application...Two certain areas of that site need to be changed from time to time...pictures and pricing, what are the options of adding dynamic sections or simply the ability to change these areas of the pages the easiest way possible.

I know that this kinda complicated but this site has a lot of pages and the pages need to be "re-generated" with the new rates and pictures but all of the optimization will be overwritten..any help would be great!

Are you looking for a solution that pulls information from a database then generates a static page? What server side languages do you have available?

You might consider using a database created, but staticly served site. That's what I do on my major site. Most of the data doesn't change (for years). So I've set the database system up so it only generates the pages that have something that has changed since the last build. Then I just do a quick upload and overwrite the existing older pages and the web site is now all current again. (Without the overhead of a truly dynamic site or having to reupload the whole site everytime there is a change.)
