I run a web design & hosting company and would like to have a system I could place on each of the sites I develop to allow my clients to edit certain parts of each web page. We'd only use this system on static html based sites. I've looked at a lot of CMS solutions, but they're all entirely too complicated. I don't want to allow my clients to create new pages, modify navigation, etc. Just allow them to basically edit the content area of each page. Anyone know of any package that exists that would suit my needs? I host all sites on an IIS 6 server. I can use SQL Server, mySQL, Access, etc. as a back-end database solution and can use ASP, ASP.NET, and PHP scripting. Thanks for your time and help!
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do exactly, but something you might look into would be a simply script like cutenews by cutephp. Rather than an entire cms, it's simply a blog engine that you use by using php include() on the target page. limit them to a single news post, cut out the template and allow the html tags you're after. This might be beyond your scope though, I'm not sure. If it is, you can always go to some place like scriptlance.com and post the job. I can promise you'll end up with a handful of bids for $25 or less by someone willing to tailor a script to your needs. Hope that helps.
Maybe www.simpcms.com it allows to create categories and content + edit content and some more features.
