Creating an Easy to Update site for a Web Novice?

[scaramanga182]

Hi.

I've been asked to create a site but the owners are going to want to update the site themselves. Unfortunately they have no web experience. In the past I have just hard coded sites in Dreamweaver uploaded, job done. Are there any packages possibley from hosts which will allow this. I use MS CMS and SharePoint daily at work but obviously these are not going to be options for what will probably be a site of less than 10 pages!

I've seen some auto-create site wizards with hosting packages before but these tend to look cheesy and unprofessional, although it was about 5 years ago I last looked at these so I guess they may have improved since.

Any suggestions?

Cheers.

For something that small, I'd seriously consider just using Wordpress.

Either a CMS or if you are used to using DW already, you could also consider using Adobe Contribute.

However, Contribute is a totally different approach to building the site with a CMS and it can also be very "clunky" in use.
