website

I would like to code a little web site that will contain several sections like "Home", "Gallery", "Contact Us", "FAQs", and so on.

I thought to do this in one HTML by putting each section in a div and show only one div per time (using Javascript / jQuery), based on the chosen menu button.

Alternatively, I could create a separate HTML page per section, and link these pages to the menu buttons.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two methods ?
