Serena is a more complicated -- albeit potentially more powerful -- tool than most competitors at this price point, so it may not be ideal for the small-business website. But for departmental or mid-sized corporate buyers (the slice Microsoft can't figure out how to dominate), the cost of entry may start falling again...
