What is the best way to create an online product listings page?

Here is what I am trying to make. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/flisohi/detail?.dir=52f7&.dnm=b2e5scd.jpg&.src=ph That was made in Photoshop. I have Dreamweaver 8 and I need to make a listings page of 50+ vehicles. At least ten on each page. My problem is if I made it in html, for example listing1.htm, listing2.htm. If I were to remove 3 vehicles from listing1.htm, I had to go and move 3 from listing2.htm to listing1.htm That will take a lot of time. I am trying ASPvbscript with an external Access .db file. So far the page is stable but I have a lot of work to do. I am using books, tutorial cds, and forums (thanks to those guys). I was thinking of trying XML. Could I use XML in something like that? I am not sure how many people are going to access the site at once. I am doing this for a good friend and this is a good practise for me. (i love doing it also, of course ;-)

    Buddy, to solve this problem you can use such a database which supports OLE storage like(Postgres, MySQL, and ORACLE) as backend for storing ur products pic and other information and categories too. in case of front end it is ok to use ASP VBscript. Now use dynamic scripting to add and delete products. This will be done at two end admin and user end Admin can add, modify and delete products and things like that. User can only navigate and order things. U can use XML for ur layout initialization.. make it client server architecture to achive ur goal..
