Site Structure Advise

    Having completed my own site in PHP/CSS, I'm currently working on a client site and applying what I've learnt.

    Previously I've relied on DW templates so PHP has opened up more possibilities than I can think of in one go... How should I go about the following:

    Client site has 10 main sections, and say 5 sub-menus under each.

    Would you create 1 global 'template' and pull in all Submenus & Content as includes, or create just 10 pages and just pull in just the Content from includes?

    How many static files should a site this size have? Is there any downside to having just 1 self-referring file?

    I feel like one I start with the PHP goodness I just can't stop! It's opened way more doors than I know what to do with...

    Hope someone can advise.
