Keep in mind that Quixote explicitly rejects the whole notion that web pages are "designed" by web designers and "developed" by web developers. IMHO this separation is a large source of complexity in Zope. I have no idea how well ZPT and Quixote could work together. The other obvious alternative is to teach your web designer PTL. The danger there is that PTL is not much different from Python, and if you're web designer learns Python, your web developer(s)' jobs(s) might be in danger. ;-) Greg
