Thanks for all the replies.
Contribute sounds like a good idea, but it means I have to learn to use Dreamweaver and its template system. Plus the customer needs to learn how to use Contribute. Too hard.
Wordpress - database driven (which I don't want) and needs PHP, MySQL and mod_rewrite (whatever that is). I wouldn't be able to test (or change) anything either as I don't "speak" PHP.
Textpattern - I had a look and was overwhelmed by the complexity of it all. Yet another PHP + MySQL database driven site.
The people I am trying to help want simple buttons to format text on static pages, not learn a new language (otherwise I'd teach them HTML).
They don't want a database driven site. (If they did, I could set something up myself in ASP, and have done occasionally).
Patrick, I have taught some clients the basics of what to do and what not to do. They still make a mess of things, especially when they use M$ FontPlague.
So... I'll stick with "I will update for you as and when needed and charge for it. If you want CMS, I can't help you".
