Menu
I am working on my first large website and having some problems on how to scale it. I figured that using jQuery to piece together each page (200+ pages). Most elements that appear on every page are made in a seperate html file and then loaded using jQuery.load. The benefit is that I only have to make changes in the file once and it will change on every page (is there a better way?). If this is an acceptable way, how do I stop the page from loading the standard html/css first? Currently, the page loads the background, and a few of the elements that are unique to each page and then loads the other html file elements afterwards - which makes it look unprofessional and annoying.
Thanks!

Yes. You can have your server do this, though it will depend on you backend language/framework: PHP, Python Django, etc.
(If you are just serving through the webserver, without any server programming, then I suppose something like .load() is your only option.)
BTW, content management systems like Drupal are made to solve this problem, without having to write code.

If you want to stop anything from showing until you are ready, add to your body tag
<body style="display:none">
And then when you are ready,
$('body').show();
