Subject: Re: [WSG] Client - Site Edits

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.

Regardless of whether it's valid or not, hardly any mainstream

currently support text shadows.
Yes, well it really is a let down viewing a site in Safari or OmniWeb
and then viewing it in IE or FF.
I am finding quite a few clients impressed with the difference in the
new Windows Safari and making the switch.
Maybe Safari will become "mainstream" (especially with the success of
iPhone ;)
The more design can be put in the browser and removed from image
files the better.

Thanks for the tip Matthew!
