    Which tool to use

    I got volunteered to setup our non-profit website. Currently it is a pretty static site designed using godaddy's Web Site Tonight (template driven). We would like to see about switching from Website Tonight to something else.
    We would like to add a Form where teams can register themselves online. This requires the team manager to enter about 30 items (name, address, etc.) The data from the form can then either be mailed to myself, or retrieved somehow from the server (godaddy)
    I currently own Dreamweaver MX (although it is unopened )

    1) Your current skill level in any web related field - Nothing
    2) Do you want to do this yourself or employ someone? - For myself
    3) Where relevant can you provide an example of what you are trying to achieve.
    Here is our current website: http://ohdi12.org/

    You need two things. The form itself which you can create in Dreamweaver or with hand coding and a script to process the data that is input and to send the email. The easiest way to do this is to use a free script called Form Tools. It will process the input, can send emails to the submitter and/or somebody else, and it stores all the data in a MySQL database that lets you view, edit, sort, export or print.
