Erm, this is a SCHOOL! If they've got an even remotely competent IT Teacher then he/she could presumably create an appliocation allowing the admin staff to enter the data in a generic form and it to then be rendered both in HTML and PDF format. Surely?!?! And if they put their minds to it Westfield School could ring up Preston school and say "fancy our app?" and work together... might even get Yeovil College to chip in... Surely SCHOOL websites should "showcase" the calibre of the teaching - not send kids out into the world joking about "how naff" their school site is? Sean
