I've been managing a web site for an organisation
I belong to for over 10 years and it now comprises well over 1000 pages.
I've never found the need to go beyond fairly straight-forward html
with a bit of simple css. Here's a sample page from that organistaion's
site. If you take a look at the code, I'm fairly sure you will be able
to make out what's happening.

in this thread, this post made the biggest impression on me
because i enjoy native plants in the southwest US, and your
plants are so startlingly different; but also because the site is
such a clear opportunity for a content management system (CMS),
which could enhance the galleries, search, mapping, community
aspects (forums, calendar, plant ratings), etc.
without diminishing the job you've done, have you considered a
leap to a CMS? it might take away some fine control, but i think
it would offer a lot of benefits to your society
while everyone is discussing how to make headway with HTML, a CMS
could be a way to focus on the content of a site and grow a site
quickly, worrying much less about HTML; i use Drupal, so here are
some Drupal sites with native-plant info that might illustrate
some of the trade-offs; none is a gem -- the point is they are
probably run by volunteers and they have some features that are
fairly hard to hand-code
