I created a program that generates static web pages to
navigate round a directory full of photographs. From my
experience I would say:
- Develop it in Perl (of course)
- Have the script interpret a simpler language
that "real people" can use (my current best thought
is something BASIC like)
- Have different "levels" of customisation for
different needs and different levels of your users
- Write "How to customise your web page" documentation
before you write your code (it will be wrong but
the exercise of writing it will help clarify how
it should work)
I would also suggest that you steal ideas from my software but I
haven't got round to releasing it yet.
Update: I have now, it is
here
