Andy's suggestion is right, you could save the html pages to php, and only add php include commands on areas of the page you want someone to edit. Then that separate file could be just the content, she could download it thought ftp and edit it, and re-upload it. Or the same way above, only that you can find some php tickers online you could modify since it already contains password protection, and add that to the same area of the page you allow someone to edit... I guess you need to start reading about php if you want to achieve this...

Joomla and Mambo are fully fledged CMS systems. Wordpress can be too, but it's better suited to blogging TBH.

I suppose you're looking for a mini-cms system then rather than a fully fledged CMS then? The easiest solution would be to put the content into easy to edit text files and just include them using PHP includes. You could keep the text files outside of the public web directory for security. Your client would need to be able to manage basic uploading and downloading of files though.

Go easy with me - I'm a novice and I'm doing this for free.

I thought about blogs, but the site is already designed from a bought template. So I need something that I can just drop into the page.

Any ideas?

wordpress? joomla? mambo? There's loads of CMS systems out there and they all come with security. Take your pick
