Yeah, the sheer number of pages is not a determinant of how complex a 
site is to design and code, but rather the complexity of any given page or 
section of a site.

If a client gives me 500 nice clean MS Word files and says, "Convert these 
to Web pages and link them together, one after the next", I can fire up 
HTML Transit and probably have a first draft of all 500 converted pages 
running by the next day.

If on the other hand the client says, "I need to access a legacy database 
currently running on an old IBM mainframe, and allow customers to select 
products from it which they can then order via a secure commerce 
server"; that site may run to only a few "pages" as such, but will likely be 
a lot harder to get operational.
