I am looking for a little advice from anyone out there that does any web designing.
As a side project, I am creating a few websites for some small businesses around my area. I am admittedly a novice, in that I don't know more advanced features of web design (I pretty much do everything with HTML and CSS and have very little experience with using .php or other database systems).
My problem:
1. The websites will be fairly straight forward with static content (Home, About, Services)
2. My clients know absolutely nothing about web design
3. I would like for them to be able to edit only the text areas of the website without having to contact me for each change.
4. I don't want them to be able to "blow up" the page or have access to other design elements of the site.
What I have looked into so far:
I have looked into varying Content Management Systems (CMS) and most seem either too expensive for the limited use of my clients or give too much control to the client. My research so far has pointed me towards Wordpress. Apparently it can be modified to accomplish this but takes some work (which I may or may not be able to figure out after a few hours of working with it).
My question:
Does anyone know of a CMS (or any thing else) that will accomplish what I have suggested?
