AAHHH PHP, Java, help by insanejoker

So I'm redoing my commission site into html, and not updating it with the website maker program I have anymore, because I'm tired of having to resize things all the time. It's not a good way of doing anything.

Right now I've got most of the layout down, I just need to figure out how to get the menu bar on all pages without having to copy and past it on each page. I know that you can do this via PHP, but unfortunately Doteasy (the hosting service I have) doesn't support PHP with the plan I picked, and I can't really pay more right now.

I have heard of static site generators for PHP, and I'm wondering what that means? I know I have an option of using Java but I also know it's not recommended because of compatibility. I don't know what other options I have right now. If I really have to, I will just copy and paste the same menu code over and over on each page, I just don't want to. XD

Any ideas / tips / etc.?

    If I where you I'd just go with a simple CMS system like Wordpress and use plugins and pre made themes, No point in putting too much work into something if you can get better easier to manage results with something quicker

      I don't really like using premade themes :( They tend to be super flashy and whatnot which I'm not a big fan of. I also hate having to get used to yet another UI, when I can just quickly use CSS / html to get the same results. I don't care much for having to install widgets to get something to work, either. I prefer full control over my site. I already have my website set up with use of web design software, but there are things that are becoming annoying to have to change all the time that with CSS / html wouldn't be much of a hassle, and it would look cleaner. So before I continue to update it I want to get it all settled in with the code. It's really not that difficult for what I'm doing, I just wanted to try and make some things easier on myself with the menu bar XD

      In the future maybe I'll try out wordpress, but for now I rather build it from scratch.
