how to let clients edit their website...need help. urgent!

tcpodg · Sep 20th, 2007, 01:26

Hi,
My name is Josh and I am a begginer somewhat in web design. I have created three websites for three different clients the past few months. But the more requests I get the more they say they want to edit the site themselves. I know people that have created a tool to do this with. For instance I know of one person that created a tool like this and all you have to do is type in http://example.com/update and then you just type in your user name and password and you can upload pictures and change any text on the website. I would really help me out alot if someone could help me with this. And my sites are usually created in Flash Professional 8. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Josh

What you're looking for sounds like a CMS (Content Management System). I personally like Joomla! before I started using the one we created ourselves..

Joomla and wordpress will not work for this situation, as your sites are built completly within flash...correct? If so, perhaps you should search Google for..."Flash Content Management Systems", as there are several pre-built options.

Yes it all is built inside of flash.

Did you find any?

I may be wrong but I think this might require a dedi...

tcpodg · Sep 22nd, 2007, 14:15

Well I think I may be good enough in code to maybe build one myself. Can anyone tell me what code I can use and what you would need?
I did find several, I like the one at flashloaded.com but I dont know if I want to pay $100, give or take for every website I build. Thanks.

Try out my CMS - http://ablecms.danedesigns.com - it does exactly what you said.

I don't think your site manages flash does it?

oops I thought I read that he just needed to upload flash files, but he actually has the whole thing made in flash, so nevermind.
