Easy/Simple Method For Client to Edit Website

As the title says, I'm looking for an easy and simple way for my client to enter information himself, when I am done with the initial job. I thought about using WordPress, but wanted to see if there would be another way. Also, my client runs an online store--keep that in mind.

Thank you very much

You are almost spoilt for choice, there are tons of CMS' out there http://php.opensourcecms.com/

What does your client want to do with their store? Run it alongside a CMS? Change it to another store script? Move it to a hosted solution? You can run both a CMS and Shop alongside each other.

I think you need to ask a few more questions before selecting something. In the meantime my current (meaning last 5 years) favourites are:

CMS: CMS Made Simple
Shop: Opencart
Blog/News: Wordpress

My clients get on with either. So long as you provide them with clear instructions/links to resources then you should be OK.

Hi,

Use something like oscommerce or magento if you need more ebusiness functionality. If you need more content modification, there are a lot of CMS that is probably the way to go;

wordpress
joomla
drupal
phpnuke
vbportal

It will result in simple management for your client but the web-dev will have to be what skilled to put off a good bridge between systems.
