Conclusion

MOSS is a great tool for a wide range of applications Data architecture and flows Design and branding is possible but has limitations External-facing sites

Full custom development (compliant HTML) Respect the architecture

Not a traditional concept/development/integration approach SharePoint Architects and Developers take the lead Even on the Graphical Concept!

Fantastic value for money
