I would firstly consider what the content that your client wants to be able to update himself actually is. If its highly complicated then you might want to try to convince your client that it is not a good idea to update it themselves. That said I try to convince all clients regardless of job not to update themselves.

I have never had to use a CMS and know very little about them. I have a client who wants to update his site himself and my hosting company supports Joomla.

My question is: do I design the site in the normal way and then append the CMS or is the site designed within Joomla? Am I restricted in design options?

Lyn, I would highly recommend Textpattern for a simple site. My usual workflow is:

1. Mockups (PSD/Fireworks/paper)
2. xHTML/CSS templates
3. Integrate in Textpattern
4. Add salt

Using any CMS requires a little bit of a shift in thinking, I suppose. However, the forums are relatively pleasant, and I'd be happy to help you with any questions that you have.

Best,
