I don't doubt that ASP.NET is complex. However, the person I'm taking over this role from said that he does not do programming. He just brings up pages in MS Expressions Web and its' easy to add content. However, as I said, I'm hoping not to spend $100.00 for something I won't use very often and for relatively simple tasks. Thanks.
