Dreamweaver or Frontpage? (Solved)

I need to design (redesign technically) my company's web page and I've got the choice between using Frontpage 2k3 or Dreamweaver CS3.... I haven't really worked with any except like 3 hours working with Dreamweaver. I'm leaning towards that but I was wondering if anyone who had experience with web design had any insight on which way to go.

I work for a non-profit and our website is going to be mostly informative, no selling things. The fanciest thing I can see us doing is menus that drop down when you mouse-over them.

Cost of program isn't an issue; since we're a non-profit i can get both of those 3 for 25$ or less.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Solved for me, looks like it wasn't my decision as much as i thought it was. Lock plz?

    SharePoint isn't in the same category as FrontPage or Dreamweaver. You use SharePoint to do so stuff like index your file servers and automagically generate an intranet based on what it finds. It's basically a tool that automates the process of finding content on your file servers and adding it to your intranet site. If you're looking to do the graphical design of an external site, that's a completely different set of needs, and you'd use FrontPage or Dreamweaver for that. I haven't looked at either in years, so I don't know if this is still accurate, but from what I've heard Dreamweaver stands head and shoulders above FP.

    Thanks, edited for clarity.
