"publishing tools" with "authoring tools" are not the same thing. This has lead many web shops (and tool vendors!) down a dead end.

Authoring tools may work 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 maintenance 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!

Nonetheless, an additional requirement for any publishing system is allowance for editing environments that users find familiar. Producers like to develop in Macromedia DreamWeaver or even (gasp!) Microsoft FrontPage, editors seem to prefer MS Word. This can be a vexing problem.
