a very basic inquiry: I make a site for person B using dreamweaver; they wish to access the site to edit it, replace photos with other photos etc, but they do not have dw. what is the absolute minimum requirement in terms of software for tne "owner" of a site to have to be able to edit it without having to go back to the oerson who made it in the forst place?
thankyou

Hi Peter

If the client has no web dev knowledge then you'd be best to build a web based admin console for them to use, then they'll only make changes to the part of the system you want them to and won't need any additional software - browser and internet access is all they'll need. If they 'know' what they're doing then MM Contribute/DW or similar (not used it myself though)

Digga

Sharing Knowledge Saves Valuable Time!!!

ive had a few customers use the "contribute" path.

the software in itself is quite easy to use, its like loading up a webpage in word, then editing and publishing the changes. BUT i still had to go and set the software up and configure it so they couldnt overwrite my scripts etc.. while being hammered with things like "so dave, whats a script do..."

my advice is to do the online admin panel like Lee suggested, otherwise known as CMS.
