    Hey guys,
    Ive designed website for a local club, but I need to give them access to update some information themselves. They know little about web design... Anyone know the best way to allow a user with little experience to add info/pics to a couple of pages? Some sort of template of the pages that I already have on the site??

    Thanks in advance for any advise.:D

    Oh, sorry, didn't see it properly, thought you were looking for templates.

    You can either give them a site with a database backend, or teach them how to edit the page itself.

    The first is your better option, then you can give them a page where they type in their information, hit a button and its up. You'll have to know something like PHP/ASP and SQL for that though. These packages will also have to be set up on their server, so if they're using space from their ISP they most likely won't have them.

    Like Aidan said, PHP and MySQL are the best way to go (some good advice for a change Aido!)

    The best content management systems out there that let you do this are:

    www.dragonflycms.org

    www.mamboserver.com

    They have a bit of a learning curve though, but only coz there's are so many configurable options... time learning these programs is time well spent.
