We are starting a neighborhood website; obviously not much budget. We have our domain name and suggestion for webhosting and another suggestion that we design the site using SharePoint. We currently have an access directory with home address, phones, emails, dhildren info, etc., that we use for a hard copy directory. We'd like to put a directory feature on our website for member only login, but can we import from access to excel to Sharepoint or will we have to manually input all of our info into the Sharepoint program? Has anyone done anything similar?
If you do not suggest sharepoint, what do you suggest for a non-technie to work with. The techie was going to set up the basics, and train us how to input content and maintain, so it needs to be something rather simple.

If you were inexperienced, had no budget, what would you recommend we use?

If not then your already at your answer, create an html page within access and export that to your server, you would then have your access database that you can use on your server using either a DSN or DSNLess connection.

Sharepoint isn't for designing web sites.

Yes, good point.
Sharepoint isn't for building sites but it couples with Infopath to create web forms, so I assume that if their techie is telling her to use sharepoint, that they also have the latter.

Needhelp1950; I assumed correct or not?
