Exclude pages from listing by name

Only IDs. Since it is in the code, why does it make a difference?

I’m making a theme for a client, and she has to set up the site following my instructions, so I can’t guess the page id’s and I can’t get her to touch the code.

OK, nvm I created custom functions based on the regular ones and put them in the theme’s functions.php, busically I changed the sql query to query the name and not the id.
