You could use Server Side Includes (SSI), if your server supports them.

If your server is Apache, you could, for example, put the following element into your HTML page to output a current date + 1 day:

Assuming today is 2011-02-05, you'll have the following output on your page in browser:

...
DATE: 2011-02-06
...

To output the full weekday name, you can use date -v +1d '+DATE: %A %d, %Y', which gives you DATE: Sunday 06, 2011.
