    I need a simple admin panel to add text and images for a 2-3 html/css pages website .

    i don't want to use wordpress/joomla/drupal because I don't want to use widgets etc.

    I just need to add text and photos.

    thanks!

    Just open your page file in a text editor and add what you want. Why do you need a script?

    If you're going to be adding to the site a lot, use a CMS script - any CMS script.

    my client requires an admin panel to add an admin panel because he needs to change content and photos frequently.

    he's not a web developer so he can't work html/css.

    is there any cms script simple to add only content and photos to pages, without widgets, plugins, themes, articles etc.

    You have a "client" and you don't know which CMS would work best for your needs? If you want to "be a web developer" without putting in the time and effort (years of study, then years of getting experience under someone's guidance), I can't help you. Web development isn't flipping burgers.

    ("wordpress/joomla/drupal" don't require that you use widgets, and there's nothing wrong with using them. But any CMS is the same when it comes to widgets. All of which you'd know if you knew enough to work for clients.)

    Start here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_content_management_system

    So you can get a clue. Then try some CMS (at least even demos online, but better install it yourself), so you actually know something about CMS, rather than sounding clueless. Are you actually a webdeveloper or just someone who outsources everything?

    I am a beginner web developer, and unfortunately in my city aren't web development companies to get hired and learn at high level so the only way I learn is tutorials, video tutorials and, and forums.

    OK, mate. Well, start learning about what a CMS is and how to use one. It really simplifies life. Learn how to theme them, too. Once you've learn one, it's very easy to learn any other (or so I found, anyway). HTML, PHP, CSS and JS are some skills you'll need. Once a CMS is set up right though, the end user doesn't really need any knowledge about that (that's what they pay you for... to continue maintenance at a code level). It might sound daunting, but it's not that bad. Even something as powerful as Drupal is straightforward to set up and theme these days (including a lot can be achieve through the UI).

    What you need to do for your client is pretty basic and simple to achieve in any CMS, so you can get off the ground quickly once you've spent some time learning (the basics won't take long). The trickier bit will be the theme, but a lot of the premade ones for Wordpress and Drupal allow a lot of customisation within the UI, so that can be an easier way to start.

    Good luck.
