Client wants to manage site
I have a client who wants to be able to add content to their web site themselves. Does anyone know of a program that will make this possible? Is there some scripting that I can do? Any advice for this situation would be helpful.
Thanks!

Hi thinkdolphin, welcome to the forum
First question is how was their site built? Is it database driven? The solutions below will work if it's static html, php or asp - if you only use it for server side includes (SSI).
- software that is installed on your client computer: like macromedia contribute or even dreamweaver - if they're more adventurous
- web based software like Interspire SiteCentre (may require a bit of fiddling with your client site if you use PHP includes)
If database driven you may require to build some kind of back-end interface for the to add, edit, delete data from the db.
Finally if you haven't built it yet, you could use a software like wordpress, mambo, joomla or any other open source CMS out there.
Hope this helps

I, of course, have to add Drupal to that list.
