Frontpage/Sharepoint Basic Question

[Jay]

I am designing a site for a church who wants me to setup the site and after
the initial setup, they want to be able to edit specific pages
(content-wise). I don't want them to be able to edit navigational items.

I am also interested in them being able to have various calendars available
for editing which should only be able to be edited by designated users, but
the calendars should be viewable by any visitor to the site.

I understand about the collaboration aspect of Sharepoint, but wasn't sure
if Sharepoint was overkill for what I am wanting to accomplish.

I have found a couple of different solutions (contentseed) for allowing
individuals to edit specific pages, and calendars.net for the free web
calendaring, but was searching for something a bit more streamlined. Since
the site is for a church and I am doing it gratis, cost is a factor.

If this post is in the incorrect group, my apologies.

If the church editors will use FP2003 you can use Dynamic Web Templates to
lock the navigation on the pages they edit.

Ron,

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to avoid the purchase of Frontpage 2003
for the individual users, since they will primarily be changing text only.

You did raise an interesting question for me though, since I am not real
familiar with DWTs. Since the pages are posted to a server, would a page
created as a DWT on my PC and posted to the server be saved with a different
extension other than HTM?

Thanks
Jay

If you use ContentSeed, it will save you headaches (since users can't change anything important or wackout the server extensions) AND since it's browser accessible the users don't need FP - just IE.

DWTs are saved with extension .dwt
This does not change when published.
