Using sharepoint for a website

I am interested in the community's opinion on using Sharepoint for a
corporate website. There is no requirement for community based
activity, collaboration, teaming or office integration. Would such a
site benefit from sharepoint or is it overkill?

and ... how easy is it to completely separate the front end HTML and
CSS from the sharepoint generated code ... for accessibility and
search engine optimisation reasons?

thanks

Its overkill - you'd be better off using a simple CMS systsem like Dozing
Dogs

Rebranding MOSS needs at least a good knowldge of the SPS master pages and
the associated web part css and if your not using the collaboration featurs
it would be a waste of licence costs.

My quick 1.5 cents:
SharePoint is all about collaboration. The other features you state
you don't need are some of the main reasons to use it.
SharePoint uses 'ghosting' http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/93796/93796.html
to deliver its pages. If you decide to edit the code in the aspx
pages directly you lose the benefits of the ghosting.
