Subject: Re: [WSG] Client - Site Edits
dotnetnuke has some nice functionality, but out of the box is an
accessibility nightmare.

Funny you should send that one Kevin, I am literally just scoping
around for a similar solution to the site I have just built. I was
recommended these two aparrently free CMS solutions by another
client.
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/
http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/
I am only just taking a look now so not sure how standards compliant
they are. The last site I built used a combination of Contribute and
Wordpress, not so pretty and kind of limiting. Depends on what they
want to update and the type of content I guess.
I would like to hear of any other free open source CMS solutions
there
are out there? preferably one using PHP, but open to suggestions.
Cheers

I find it very disappointing that very few clients really
appreciate the
amount of hard work that goes into designing and building a site
(in my
experience). This particular client wants to save a few bucks by
maintaining the site herself. She doesn't seem to realize that
her time
is
valuable as well and better used when devoted to her strengths.
I think
most of us know that we need to call a plumber or electrician as
they
are
"experts" in their fields, and rightly so. Nuff said...
Now that I have a realization that I need to incorporate some
sort of a
CMS
solution, can anyone lead me to resources that may help to teach
me the
ropes? I am leaning towards PHP, as I am somewhat familiar with the
language. Thanks.
Regards,
Kevin.

Hi all,
I am trying to find a solution to a nagging problem. Most of my
client's sites are not very dynamic and I update them as the
client
requires. Because the updates are very infrequent, I have not
been
charging very much for this ongoing support. However, I have a
new
client who wants to maintain her own site (one I designed for
her).
She is pretty good on the computer, but doesn't really know her
way
around HTML or CSS. I am agonizing over how to "pass the torch"
over
to her. The site is not extremely complex, but is more than a
little
task for someone who does not design web sites.
I am wondering for advice on this situation and I am also
wondering
how others handle ongoing updates after the initial design has
been
implemented.
I am also wondering if a CMS system would, in any way, be a
solution
to a situation like this.
Thanks.
Be careful if you don't use a CMS system. I donated a web site
for a
local organization and it was a beauty...since I no longer had the
time
to devote to updating I turned it over to a so called 'web
designer'
in
the community (at the recommendation of the executive
director). Sadly,
he has basically ruined my site because he has no idea what he is
doing
and has no concept of web standards--or style for that matter.
It is a real shame that so many people charge for and design web
sites
that don't follow any sort of standards.
Matthew
