Creating dynamic tables using Coldfusion, CSS or perhaps something else

A few years back I built an application using coldfusion that to date has worked great. The down side was certain modifications required actually changing the code to alter the pages. I have since scratched my head on rebuilding the application and create a management interface that could allows administrators of this application to make the changes versus reprogramming the page to accomidate the additions or subtractions. I figure if anyone would know it would be someone here. Now to the nuts and bolts. In my application I have a DB table representing  geographic regions for each branch location.For the purpose of the question I will say we are dealing with branch LA.  The LA branch has areas 1-8, to ouput these I have created a static table giving each area their own cell ( Area 1-4 in row 1 and 5-8 on row 2). Pretty simple. The issue is if area 3 gets reassigned to a new branch or the branches need to add an addition area or just remove one all together the page has to be recoded. so I guess the solution is to find a way to query the DB and out put the records to a max of 5 columns per row, and if the remaining records are less than 5 distribute them evenly across the screen. I am not sure the is possible or practical or what I would have to do to implement this sort of thing, for a suitable solution I offer the max points and my 14th born.  THX in advance
