admin Question by Mike: Web Design: Best way to help a client edit their web pages without much I.C.T knowledge?
Hi all,
I’m thinking of trying my hand at web design as I’m ok with html/css etc but I was wondering how web designers get their clients to edit their own pages. I tried installing WordPress (so they can use the UI there) on a local server (Xampp) but I find the service a little too blog-orientated. Anyone know of simple/free visual HTML Editors/FTP which aren’t too daunting for the non-technical minded.
Thanks.

If you’re looking to go into web design, I’d concentrate more on finding a solution that fits your client’s needs instead of trying to program/code something yourself. There are many companies that provide the back-end systems to fit just about any client need.
For your question, I would look for companies that provide a Content Management System incorporated into their hosting service. These companies provide more than enough features and scalability to provide your client the needed look, feel, and functionality.
Take a look at www.speaklight.com or www.aroradesigns.com. If you look further, I’m sure there’s plenty more companies like these to choose from.
