    I'm building a website and want to allow the owner to make wysiwyg changes through their browser to the content of one 'div' on each page.I have trawled the internet for simple cms solutions but they all seem far too complicated for such a simple requirement. Has anybody any suggestions on how I could implement this simply and easily? Thanks in advanceJan

    I'd use WordPress and create a plugin that allows only the user/owner to edit the text and then displays that text through the theme.

    as the first response indicated this could be achieved through wordpress and a custom plugin fairly easily. Another suggestion if youre looking for something a little more integrated would be to build the whole thing in expression engine, then you could just build that module into the control panel and modify the rest to your needs. what youre suggesting sounds like you dont have true needs of a full-fledged cms though, if you want to put in the time you could simply write a custom php script that allows your client to modify said divs and build a simple control panel for them and store it all in sql. the options are really only limited based on your proficiency with php, ruby or your language of choice though.

    CushyCMS sounds ideal for you, it allows you to give the client a login and mark only certain areas of certain pages as editable. I can't post a link so you'll have to Google it.
