or you can use the Domino Go webserver with Lotus Notes clients. This is
the solution we use to allow non web-literate people to maintain the
contents of their web sites. Of course, you have to build the site in the
first place, but from then on anyone who can type can maintain the contents
(although it does help if they have some idea of communication and can
actaully write. And of course, you need someone who can design and optimise
graphics. Etc.)
