<font face="Verdana">Well, stepping back for a moment, I guess as a
"consultant" I would strongly advise that any client not opt to avoid
or categorically reject site features simply because they don't fit
into his/her pre-existing mindset about what a website does. I consider
part of my job as including educating the client on what's available
and what's possible.<br>
<br>
Imagine an auto dealer decades ago removing electric starters from
their cars because their customers had pre-existing notions that they
should hand-crank the engine.<br>
<br>
So while the "level 3" site mentioned before may fit for a minority
amount of small business clients, I believe that level 4 is the way to
go. And if they aren't up to it, then I would simply restrict their
capabilities by permissions (as much as possible, and maybe this is
where further development could happen). (If they're that
non-technical, then I'd probably be managing the site admin anyway.)<br>
<br>
I don't mean to be contrarian here. That's just my own business
philosophy. I don't turn away a client ready to buy, but I don't want
to disable features just to lower the site to his/her expectations.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
