html to CMS? Is this possible?

    I have a tableless html site that is taking forever to update each page.

    It would be easier if CMS could be used to add and update the site.

    I don't want to change the layout of the site just have the ability to upload and change content.

    Is this possible? What would be the best way of doing this?

    Thanks

    I don't know much about other CMSes, but mine is really easy to intergrate. P.M. Me if you want more information.

    It is still in beta, but works fine.

    it's possible, but you'll probably have to change abit of code, like slicing it and add it multiple files from the cms. Usually, a cms template has more files, wich are put in 1: header.html, footer.html, left-panel.html etc, i think you got the ideea.

    Yes it's possible, using a database and a server side language (e.g. MYSQL and PHP).

    I don't agree with what hip_hop_x is saying about CMS's having more files, i've made many which have less (because they are for big sites). But they do usually use quite a few files.

    One good place to learn how to do this is http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/
    Thats where I used when I first learned this :)
    But there is always the option of hiring someone to do it for you, if you have money for that of course.

    From the sounds of the simplicity, something like wordpress should easily do everything you're asking.

    If you need something more complex for some reason, try something like expressionengine or joomla.

    I can code your actual website in a way that you can update it by simply uploading flat text files with no formatting or extra effort on your side, my custom CMS does it all and my price is very cheap.

    If you are interested PM for further information and the demo link :rolleyes:

    I'ts 9:03 am (GMT) here, going offline for the next 12 hours.

    Or you could use a free one with 10 times more features. Or for simple content editing, look into sNews. Its very easy to integrate with a template and is just 2 files.

    You will need a server with mod_rewrite enabled though.
