The include files are the ones you edit using your wysiwyg type backend...like they say though, more than one way to skin a cat :thumbs: [Edited on 15-12-2006 by Dom] | |

datebase puts the html in the box on the template if you get me it looks for the link to the page then puts the correct information on the correct page. | |

I do it so it has a wysiwyg editor back end which converts it to html and saves to a mysql db, it is then linked into the page. | |

A basic CMS is faily easy to do, as Dom said it would be worth while learning. | |

i would learn php or some sort of server side script, could charge more and you could offer clients a lot lot more like neil m said - because the chance is he wont take up the offer of having to pay you to update it and/or he'll find someone else to do it :thumbs: | |

you could do x amount of changes for them for nothing as part of the package and then charge after that. | |

i never have a rough price as it differs from each client usually. I mean i have a rough price guide that i follow but they are rarely the same. If you get any spare work chuck some my way :P | |

Shouldn't take too long. Could even do a little image upload bit if they want a portfolio style page. [Edited on 14-12-2006 by NeilM] [Edited on 14-12-2006 by NeilM] | |

I have also used 1&1 before. The second client wants to be able to update the site himself, but doesnt have any knowledge of web design. Dont see how that will work :boggle: Software like that is £££ | |
