How can I edit a Dreamweaver site remotely?

I am the webmaster for a civic group of which I'm a member. I update and edit the site as needed, which isn't a problem unless I'm away from home when a high priority update is needed. I'm not much of a coder except for what I've learned by mimicing what I see in the Code view and doing basic HTML edits.

 

Because I am the only person who manages this site, I'm hoping for suggestions on how I can make an edit to our one of the pages of the site remotely? Dreamweaver CC is installed on my desktop and I don't travel with a laptop, so using a desktop app is not an option. I will always have my iPad with me and have cellular service, so does that provide any options for remote content management?

 

One possible solution I've considered was to convert our web site to use Wordpress instead of Dreamweaver, as our hosting service has a Wordpress option that I can access online wherever I am. Is that a viable option or am I expecting too much?

 

Other ideas, please. Thanks in advance.

SHORT ANSWER:  No.  Dreamweaver only works on desktops -- Macs or Windows PCs.

 

LONG ANSWER: What you're looking for is an actual CMS (content management system) site like WordPress that works from an ordinary web browser.  I've never tried to use an iPad with WordPress although there are Apps in the Apps Store for it.

That said, you would need to deploy WordPress as a replacement for your current site.
