Templates, Library Items, etc.

I have a small project for a non-profit organization here in town that
needs a new web site and none of the staff are web savvy which is not
necessarily a bad thing in this case because updates will only be every
month or so, i.e. events, programs, etc.

I've never used Dreamweaver MX using the Template deal having always
used PHP or SSI but this is not possible on this project. I bought the
'Dreamweaver MX 2004 - The Missing Manual' and went throught the
Template tutorial and set up my own dummy site and everything went
well.

My question is this - "Since I'll be using this process (Templates) do
I need to be concerned about the total number of pages attached to the
'someTemplate.dwt' file?

This project will probably top out at around 125-150 total HTML pages.
My goal is to get them to purchase Macromedia Contribute and teach a
couple of the staff to do their own updates eventually.

Anything I should be aware of?

Having said all of that it sure would be far easier to use PHP
'includes' (require or whatever) or SSI but again this is not even
remotely possible with this project.

Thanks for any/all ideas and help.
