If all you know is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail.

They definitely do *not* need server-side scripting on the remote server for 
this. 

1. Server-side Includes (SSI), as suggested, may be supported.  For example, 
   they are a feature of the Apache HTTP Server and just need to be enabled.

   <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/ssi.html>

2. If SSI are not supported on the remote host, and cannot be enabled, it is
   less expensive to use SSI or server-side scripting to generate static
   HTML documents locally, which are then uploaded, until such time that the
   funds for SSI or server-side scripting on the remote host are available.

3. To generate the same menu in all the HTML documents using SSI or 
   scripting is not a requirement, but a *convenience*.  If all else fails,
   the menu markup can still be copy-pasted.

4. Depending on the other requirements of the Web site, the same menu in all
   HTML documents can be generated with client-side scripting as well.  That 
   is, nothing is lost if the menu is generated with client-side scripting 
   if the Web site requires client-side scripting.  Even Google understands
   JavaScript (sic) now.
