Hello Everybody,
We are currently using Dreamweaver to manage our websites. We enjoy a fairly good ranking on the web for what we do . Our parent company uses Lotus Notes for web. We are not interested in it. We prefer Dreamweaver adn its simplicity. I was wondering if someone could give me strong cons against Lotus Notes so that we could strongly lay down our arguement as to why we would like to stick with dreamweaver. I have been searching on this forum and have found few topics that discuss the dynamic nature of the web pages produced by LN, but more or less this has not become clearer in the discussions, I am still ambiguous about it. Can there be any other reasons why dreamweaver would be a better choice. I personally believe that for our medium sized website Dreamweaver is optimum since its a simple tool, doesn't require special training (so that in case I was to quit and go a new guy could easily get a handle on it), we definitely have had a better expereience as far as our ranking on the search engines goes compared to the parent company's website. I guess that says something about dynamic pages. One of the personal reasons is that we would like to be diverse and not pass on the control to the parent company on our content. Any other solid reasons that anyone could add to this.

From memory, having seen the horrors against HTML which Notes certainly *used* to produce, you might want to take one of their pages and run it against the W3Cs validation service - both HTML and CSS (if it produces any - if it doesn't then it's another black mark against it).
