Re: Client updates?

If you're talking about a significant size site, with a significant size 
client, then Allaire has a product called Spectra, which is a publishing 
system, so a number of client staff can contribute and keep the whole site 
under control.

I say "significant" size, because it's a few thousand bucks.  It more than 
pays for itself in a site of appropriate size, because it means you can have 
non-technical people contributing web pages - kind of like Front Page was 
intended to be but fell short.

For small sites, I'd say your best bet is (A) to use word, save as html, 
then upload the pages yourself after cleaning up the mess through 
Dreamweaver or something similar, or (B) use a web app to allow the users to 
paste text into a web template, like some of the 'free' web sites do.

Hope this helps you.
