Right. I'm certainly speaking theoretically. Still...while the roles may be handled by one person, they really are still two different tasks. Content needs to be established, then it needs to be delivered (with a presentation). There are times when these two need to be developed tightly together, but when that's the case, there really isn't a need for CM as much as DM. > So, some vendors > do indeed differentiate themselves by combining certain things > together....like writing and presentation via a WYSIWYG. As you say, there's certainly a market for that. If that's the procedure, though, I'm not sure if you're really going to get a good ROI on a full CMS vs. just getting a copy of Dreamweaver. > Flexibility costs money.

And in those cases, they may not actually need a full CMS. Like I said, my arguments begin to show holes when applied to real-world-gotta-sell-a-product scenarios. ;o) -Darrel -- http://cms-list.org/ more signal, less noise.
