Inexpensive options for letting client maintain html page.

[quadrant6]

I've built a site for someone and there is one page which will list bragin bin type products. The content will simply be some text and a photo for each product and the products listed here will change reasonably frequently.

It does not call for a database and the host does not support anyway.

The client is probably not up to learning the html to do it.

So I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on an inexpensive solution?

I was thinking of Macromedia Contribute but have not used it before.

I just finished with a client very similar; photos will be changing but doesn't know anything about HTML...

I gave them a copy of the HTML in a text printout using color and bold, larger type showing where the image names were. I also included A LOT of comments on EXACTLY what to do to replace the images for each one, especially keeping images the same exact size. I also showed them where the copy was on each page so they new where to go in to change it, again specifying to try to keep the same amount of text in order to keep the page looking the same way.

This seems to have been successful so far. Try having a nice meeting over coffee and going over the printout with your client. In a worse case scenario, offer to let them give you a call if they run into problems.

Hope it works out for you!

If you have the time, why not offer to keep their site updated for X ammount of $? If they don't know the languages, there's no way they can update.
