Not wishing to hijack the thread, but what are the benefits of using CMS software over a 'web built' site like Web Eden. Whats the problem with 'flash' content? am I missing somthing here?

1) Primarily, for more (i.e. complete) control of the design, content and technical elements of your own site - for example the OP had to get rid of a page (terms and conditions) rather than be able to insert a simple meta tag to stop search engines crawling it.
2) On the subject of search engines - not all search engines can read Flash, and those that can still have problems with certain elements.
3) Many workplaces still block Flash. My wife's, for example...and she works for the largest employer in the UK. So if a potential bride is looking for a DJ for their wedding on her lunch break she might not be able to view a Flash site. At best you can put up non-flash content (as the OP's site has) but this begs the question - what's the point?
4) Flash (imho) should be used for "eye candy", nice to have features of a site. If it's used for any critical part (i.e. navigation) there should be just as good non-flash content for search engines and non-flash enabled visitors to see / use.
These are just my opinions...I personally would never recommend to a client to have an all Flash site - not even flash navigation. There are some very good all Flash sites - they have their place - and unless you're in that market or have the huge budget to build a very good Flash site with a just-as-good non-flash alternative, you shouldn't bother.

I would change to a HTML based site, but I've already made 3 sites and I really don't want to have to build a site from scratch again.
Plus, I want the site, so I can log-in whenever I want to update/change things.
I made you one of them...
