We are currently using a CMS (Joomla) for our non-for-profit company
website (public health). We find the CMS to time consuming and not
reliable. Our .css continually gets dumped and simply posting a .pdf is
very time consuming. We are thinking about switching to Dreamweaver (we
currently use Adobe CS2 and RoboHelp for all else) but have been
cautioned against a static content site. Our site will have appx. 300
htm files and 100 pdf. Is Dreamweaver a wise choice? (Personally, I'd
like to roll the whole thing into a RoboHelp webhelp file!)


I used DreamWeaver MX for sites ranging up to 2000 HTML pages and hundreds of PDF user guides, data sheets, etc. without any problem with either .css or content updates. Getting/Putting files using DreamWeaver's built in FTP is also a snap.
