After questioning every developer I know, I decided to turn to this
group for a more decisive answer!

I'm a Technical Writer who has been charged with the task of creating a
new website to house all of our factsheets, pamphlets, q&a, online
surveys, etc.

We are currently using a CMS (Joomla) for our non-for-profit company
website (public health). We find the CMS to time consuming and not
reliable. Our .css continually gets dumped and simply posting a .pdf is
very time consuming. We are thinking about switching to Dreamweaver (we
currently use Adobe CS2 and RoboHelp for all else) but have been
cautioned against a static content site. Our site will have appx. 300
htm files and 100 pdf. Is Dreamweaver a wise choice? (Personally, I'd
like to roll the whole thing into a RoboHelp webhelp file!)
