Hi, I have a feeling this topic may have been covered before but I cannot find any reference to it so here I go, I have just done a site for a client and they want to take over control of the site as there are new pictures to be changed regulaly which suits me just fine however I do not know the best way for them to do this as they have NO html skills at all and further more do not have the time or inclination to learn.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to handle this matter sympatheticaly..

A content managment system seems to be needed here. Without knowing what the site is/does it's hard to suggest which one though.

thanks for the speedy reply Roo, it is a spanish property site which needs the images updating on a regular basis thats pretty much it. The site dose not have a database it is just built in standard html using dreamweaver mx.
