I created a program that generates static web pages to
navigate round a directory full of photographs. From my
experience I would say:
- Develop it in Perl (of course)
- Have the script interpret a simpler language
that "real people" can use (my current best thought
is something BASIC like)
- Have different "levels" of customisation for
different needs and different levels of your users
- Write "How to customise your web page" documentation
before you write your code (it will be wrong but
the exercise of writing it will help clarify how
it should work)
I would also suggest that you steal ideas from my software but I
haven't got round to releasing it yet.
Update: I have now, it is

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
