You want to build a public facing website using SharePoint? It’s not a trivial matter (and not something you would expect the corner dentist to be doing), but it’s a great tool for it, and where I work at, we’ve implemented a few really large websites, and I’m in the middle of designing a large one for a government agency in Alaska.

J. Boye has a white paper on what to consider if you want to implement SharePoint for a public facing site. It’s a fair article (and I think worth less than the $200 I paid for it), but if you need some kind of opinion to give to your executives, this is it.

(I need to get in the business of writing white papers.)
