web designers

I have a question about creating a website for someone. After you build a site for someone how do you hand over the site so they can add photos or make changes on it. If they don't have a dreamweaver and you built it using that how can they do anything with it. Or do you have to run it for them and charge them a monthly fee?

They have to be able to hand code it..

So if they didn't know how you would have to run it for them then and charge them some kind of fee?

I'm no web designer but yea.. I would expect to pay a small "updating" charge for any changes to the site I couldn't make.

Nowdays it's always best to build sites on top of a CMS so the client can update it themselves whenever they need to.

Most of the time, they don't wanna learn HTML. And I can respect that. CMS is the way to go :gj:

Nate is correct.

Find a CMS platform with quick learning curve, find a skin or theme you like, and you are off to the races.

CMS all the way, you can use stuff such as wordpress (yes its for blogging but you can edit everything to make it look like any other website) joomla, interspire cms and a few others.
