Is it possible for a client to maintain DW website content?

Hi,

Is there a way to do this or a CMS that a client can edit text (possibly images)?

Or must I design a website using a CMS system like WordPress, Wix, SquareSpace, Weebly, Perch,...?

I am using DW CC 2018

There is no such thing as a DW website. Dreamweaver is a tool to assist in developing a web site. The code that is produced is available to any simple text editor.

There are a number of solutions that can be used depending on the complexity of the site and the ability of your customer to code in HTML and CSS. They could use

  • Dreamweaver or similar program - needs to know HTML and CSS
  • TinyMCE - can be used on a text based (flat) database or a full blown relational database
  • bespoke CMS - needs a database
  • ready made CMS like Wordpress - works out-of-the-box

My preference goes to the third option where you give the customer limited access to making changes to the website. That way they cannot destroy your overall design.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
