J.R., To allow for administrative control of the content I create an admin directory.
Each section needs to have add, insert, edit and update pages. For each field you wish to allow the client to be able to control, you need to be able to input/update this information in the database. Just basic SQL queries to the database; Select, Insert, Update, Delete. www.yoursitename.com/admin Admin defaults to a login page. I've never allowed the client to be able to change the CSS, I suppose it could be done, but I'm not sure you really want to allow that. -Cheryl -----Original Message----- From: J.R.

I have done a little handcoding in ASP for very minor data stuff (simple SELECT and INSERTs primarily, and for dynamic assembly of pages (if ...then... include "content" stuff). Used primarily Frontpage 2000, but am moving into Dreamweaver MX. PHP seems to be popular here, but I've never used it. I am primarily VBSCRIPT/ASP. My question is this: I need some strategic direction in creating web pages that my customers can update. Its simple enough to create a database to pull items out of and place into a predetermined cell. But what about when the customer wants to change font faces, sizes or colors? Wants to insert a picture? How do you handle that? I would be interested in how others have solved this problem. Thanks, J.R.
