Just create 2 pages and make sure that they share some form of navigation to get back forth between the two.

*blinks* Am I missing something?

Ummm.... You could create a Dreamweaver template file (.dwt) for all the common elements between pages. Or code using .aspx and use "include files" for all the common elements on your page (header and footer)

Create a master template then dump the page content in the middle.

You're more likely to have PHP on your server unless you're paying extra for one that runs on Windows. Either way you can always use SSI:
