Editing Website : Solution for my clients ?

[radaf]

Hello,

I am creating websites for my clients with Xara Web Designer.
But when it comes to editing/updating the website, it requires my clients either to contact me or to purchase a license of the software.
I m talking here of simple modifications ( texts, fonts etc...)

Could I design the website with Xara, and they modify it with , say... Wordpress ?

What is the best solution ?

What would you recommend ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Raph,

I have the same problem ... I think there have been some threads about this topic and with the latest Xara version it is not possible!

Here's a wacky idea. Clients are the boss, so let them decide!

I include Xara in my price (at MY cost), give them the choice of Xara and WordPress and explain the advantages of each.

1. Xara is a lot easier for most types of client updates, and allows YOU to give them more features for their own self-editing.
   
   
2. WordPress allows them to more easily manage their SEO, or the many other simple plug-ins.

It never hurts, ever, to show clients and prospects that you always look out for their best interest. And that one should always be a client decision in my view.

If you prefer Xara then, in effect, you are charging more for using anything that takes YOU longer. But your clients decide.
