I am developing a webpage for the first time, and I am noticing that there is a lot of interconnectivity between pages. And on any given page, there might be 2 to 3 different hyperlinks that take you to the same place. I would imagine that if you changed the location of your files it would be really hard to keep track of all the hyperlinks and orphaned links your would create. So, even though I haven't had to upgrade my site (I haven't even built it) yet, I would like to know if there is a development application that will help you in organizing that type of possible problems.

So that if you move a jpg, or a link it will know to point to there automatically.

Hmm... I recall Netobjects Fusion (I don't think they make it anymore) used to have a "map" for you to keep track of all the file/image dependencies. It's not as important as you'd think though. Unless you're managing a 100-link site or something.

Nowadays most use Macromedia Dreamweaver of Adobe GoLive, as they focus more on the code and integration aspect itself. Broken links, etc. can be fixed via manual site run-through...

As you work with sites more, you'll become more accustomed to using server side includes which change URLs dynamically, or from 1 edit in 1 location, can change paths of any links/images on the site (useful for when paths do need to be changed often for whatever reason).
