Hi Erwin, I'm also a one operation. If you're using Dreamweaver, have you looked into the Advance HTML Editor located here?
http://www.dmxzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=6180 Or possibly Macromedia's Contribute? Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to use either. My clients have had no desire to edit their own sites.

A lot of clients these days are requesting to be able to do their own updates on their sites, but havenıt a clue when it comes to XHTML or CSS. What Iıd like to prevent (as one client did) is that they edit the pages with Microsoft Frontpage so that your nice valid XHTML page in no time gets turned into the tagsoup we all try so hard to avoid. Iıve been experimenting with something like pMachine ( http://www.pmachine.com/pmachinepro/ ) which, for instance now powers the (bi-lingual) news sections on this site I did recently: http://www.pilatesworks.be Then again, even this is too complicated for some people (and has to be installed on their server). Iıd like to hear from some of you how you go about this and what solutions you use or present to your clients... Thanks in advance, Erwin Heiser. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
