Hi Darren,

I saw the cross-post on the Framers list, and I'll add my two cents here briefly, hoping not to be redundant of what was already said.

The responses you got on Framers were very good. I couldn't add too much more, except to say that the efficiency aspect is really real... you could never imagine how inefficient you are with unstructured Frame, until you've authored in a structured environment. With a properly designed structure(s), I have no doubt that your output will increase significantly, or your staff will reduce proportionally. Maybe I shouldn't say that, in case you might end up being one of those staff, but it really is true.

Secondly, the aspect of metadata was brought up, and that is a very important point. With the metadata in a structured document, you wouldn't believe the things you can do, especially in regards to single-sourcing and content management. In fact, the markup of a structured document is really the prerequisite to any of those sorts of activities, and you'll find no easier or friendlier way to add markup than structured Frame. Once you have the markup (structure) you can do some really cool content reuse/management stuff, either inside Frame with scripting or plugin software, or externally if you want to go the whole XML route.

Anyway, structure was made for situations like yours. I'd highly encourage you to check it out.
