Seems fair enough comment, however as the database expands the need for a transparent front end will become apparent.
if you would like to see another live online project compare:
http://www.peepo.co.uk or .com
with
http://www.learningdifferently.com
one is the front end a directory for and by people with a severe learning difficulty, who cannot read, or are learning to. the other is for teachers, carers, parents and developers.
the point being that it is also possible to run two sites, just not easy.
