Some people confuse "publishing tools" with "authoring
tools" and this has lead many web publishing shops (and tool vendors
while we're at it!) down a blind alley.
Not to disparage everyone's favorite authoring applications but when
NetObjects' NetFusion or Microsoft's FrontPage works well for someone
setting up a web site
with 50-100 pages, they may be lulled into believing that they can scale
usage of these tools to deal with the constant addition, updating and
other maintainence tasks of a web publishing operation.
You probably wouldn't be here if this were working for you, getting a design
implemented and an initial setup running is trivial compared to the task
of daily maintainence of a web site. Don't let this point get lost next time
a web launch specification is being drawn up!
That said, an additional requirement for any publishing system is allowance
for editing environments that users like and find familiar. Producers like
to develop in Allaire's HomeSite and Macromedia's DreamWeaver, editors seem to
prefer Microsoft Word. This can be a vexing problem.
