[DM-MUG] Please look at the web site

[John Robertson]

Ray,

Sorry, I guess I didn't see the very first threads of discussion.  
Rapidweaver 4 was $40 and was just a step above iweb and more  
flexible than iweb. I'm sure you can get it much cheaper on ebay.  It  
doesn't take a lot of skill to use and you can buy custom themes.

I'm sure I missed this but have you tried iweb or is this to simple  
for what you need to do? If you need contributed content and update  
made by others than a CMS solution will work best. Our church uses e- 
zekiel and it allows many users to update their content on the public  
website.

John
