 * First, I’m fairly new to wordpress.
 * If I have 43 pages that look exactly the same, only image file names and text
   content differ between them, does it mean i will have to create a separate ‘custom
   page’ for each of them on a wordpress site? Wouldn’t this mean a pretty packed
   theme folder, especially if even more files and pages will be added later, or
   is this the usual method to go about this?
 * Thought maybe wordpress could handle it with an if statement, say, checking the
   title of the current page and inserting different image files and content based
   on it?
    Point is I want the pages to be seo friendly, not simply easy to set 
   up, but preferably both.
 * thanks

 * Just use [page templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates).
 * If they are really very similar, you might be able to do with the same template,
   or if you have, say, 20 that use one layout, 20 that use another, and three that
   use a third template, then you could have three templates, and those are the 
   only ones you need. You could do it with 43 separate templates, but that would
   be a lot of work, and I would think is fairly unusual, especially if the pages
   look exactly the same.
 * When you go to create your page, you give it a title, select the template, upload
   the image, create the text, save it, and you’re done.
 * You may choose to change the order in which you complete the information – I 
   just listed it as it came to me.

 * jayseae, Cool. The problem is each page has a lot of images, up to 50 or more
   each in a table cell which I add manually on the local machine, will the method
   still be the same, except changing a lot of image files?

 * The page template is simply a layout – a template with spaces for each bit of
   information if you will. So if you have a table (table cell, etc), then all the
   template does is determine what the page will look like when it fills in those
   blanks.
 * What the page contains – that is, what images, text and whatnot go into each 
   template – are determined entirely by you when you create that page. The method
   is the same whether there is no image, one image or fifty images.

 * Ok, will look into the page templates, thank you very much.
