If you don't have the money to pay for a "web designer", than a wiki
is a heck of a good solution.  Compare the quantity and quality of
information at http://laptop.org (which has a "web designer") and that
of http://wiki.laptop.org.

Yes, there ought to be a happy medium.  But your snark completely
misses the real problem, which is not a question of tools at all, but
of organization and someone-to-organize.
