Client changing own content

17 October 2008 10:45

Hi, This is my first time on Freelance:UK so hello to you all!

I have a question about clients changing their own content on websites which I have designed for them.

So I have been asked to create a website for a company but they need to be able to add information, like what gigs are on that week, or the menu etc. a bit like a blog entry.

Im not really sure how they can do this without having a program like Dreamweaver for example and just changing the text in the scroll section etc.... So that would mean I would have to supply them with the program which is costly.

Does anyone have any ideas about this??? Help would be much appreciated... thanks!

What your client needs is a Content Management System. Also referred to as a CMS.

I have recently used NanoCMS is which is brilliant and your client can not only change content but also add pages - to do so they simply login to their own website.

You need a little bit of knowledge about PHP to understand how it works and implement it in your site designs but it can all be done once the design is complete (with no content added yet).

Email me/PM if you ned some more help.
