I have Homesite 5 and GoLive 6, Top Style 3 which I could use to streamline the task. Has anyone used any of those programs to change an entire website? How did you do it? If you used another method, please tell me how you did that.

I was thinking of using Homesite, importing the shopping cart (section at a time), search and replace the code with blank or a dot, save and ftp back to the host. Am I on track here?
