Yes, WebDAV.  I don't know about HomeSite, but at Purdue (where
I am no longer) there was work toward allowing users to do such
things using Macromedia/MS products.  (FTP is also an option,
but I refused to stoop to using FTP.)

Using WebDAV and an "HTML editor" with which someone is already
familiar is a cheap way to get some users to maintain their own
content.  Using Page Templates allows dynamic pieces to be
added and not be destroyed in the editing process.

...or so I'm told...
