There are however a number of solutions that can easily be maintained with minimal or no training necessary. For any designer or content author that is already familar with creating basic html pages the right CMS will enable these individuals to go beyond static html pages. These systems offer a number of benefits including:

The use of a good CMS will allow the design of the site to be completely separated from site content using cascading stylesheets and a XHTML based layout. This will allow entire site design changes to be made without affecting content. Multiple stylesheets can be created to allow the colors, grpahics and other site elements to be changed without reprogramming.
Search Functionallity
Content entered into a CMS can easily be searched directly on the site. This enables you to add to content to your site that is fully indexable by both eternal search engines and through an internal search.
