Another reason for CF -- you can easily build "front end" forms that
allow the customer to modify the 'content' of a page -- which lives in a
database -- and thus the customer doesn't have to 'touch the code' or
'wait on the webmaster'.
And you get clean code.
I'd love to see those FP pages run thru Bobby or an HTML validator.
They insert code like this <noframes>This site requires a frames capable
browser</noframes> and usually leave off ALT tags.

(who has had to clean up so many FP pages that she now just starts from
scratch with the content - it's quicker)
