Marilyn,

Thanks for the suggestion re including the answer to "How big is your
unit?" and I would add "How big is your website?"

Here at LHS...

4000+ pages on the site
80K unique visitors/month

~300 employees at LHS
6 Technical Services staff employees
1 Web Developer responsible for overall QA, server maintenance,
database programming, updates on core site 100+ pages, design,
training etc.
~6 content providers update sub-sites directly, with coaching by web developer
occasional design assistance provided by print publications department
occasional database programming provide by other staff programmers

-Sara
