Author Will Dreamweaver do this?

Hi

I need to build a website that has a gallery of pictures i have looked at
Dreamweaver and it seems it will do this but it names it index.htm which would
mean i would have to change the name then go into the pages code and change the
home buttons name, I would also like to have details on the page with the
larger image included but can only seem to do this on the thumbnail gallery
page. I would need to add new pages of photo galleries and would seem a lot of
time consuming work to have to change the details in the pages is there a way
you can do this without having to open up each page in DW. Also i would like
to add a search engine that would come up with Thumbnails of what i had
searched for eg. Bird would just come up with images with bird in the file
info. Thank you i know i am asking a lot but i purchased Fotostation about 5
months ago thinking this would do what i wanted but although it has lots of
great things web building is not great.

Thank you
Sharon

Are you able to use a server-side scripting though, Because if so then
creating a template Details page would be a whole lot more efficient,
with the text read from a database.

If not, then perhaps my JustSo PhotoAlbum 3 and Picture Window 3 might
allow you to do what you need.
http://www.valleywebdesigns.com/vwd_jspa3.asp and
http://www.valleywebdesigns.com/vwd_jspw3.asp The "details" you mention
would be the Caption of each fullsize image displayed - and if each
Caption needs to be unique, then you'd enter that in the JustSo
Picturewindow behavior that is attached to each thumbnail.
