how would you upload/update 129 pages - dreamweaver

I have changed the navigation for a website (added and extra 3 cateogories) This is only on some of the pages, don't ask but it as a top and bottom navigation and i'm changing the bottom which doesn't appear throughout the whole site.

Anyway the site was not built on a template so I've created a dreamweaver template and am using this to re-create the 129 pages. The problem is if I upload the pages one by one (which is what I usually do to make sure they are working and look o.k) The customer will get 3 additional categories which may not be there because I haven't finished uploading the pages.

How would you go about this task, need some advice thanks in advance.

If the pages work in localhost (from the hard drive), there is very little chance they will suddenly cease to work when they are uploaded to a remote server.

If you really wish to continue to test the pages one by one as they are uploaded, you could close the site to other traffic while the updates are in progress (your host should be able to help you with this).
