Thank you for that Guys.

I had a feeling it might have to be CMS or similar, though i am not sure that giving the customer the key to the door so to speak is the best idea? I guess if they did have a copy of XWD, i would have to stipulate to them that if they mess up what i have designed for them, on their heads be it....

I have offered them the option of paying a small monthly fee, and i would do the updates for them which they seem ok with, but keep mentioning that
"in an emergency!" how can they access the pages.

i have mentioned that they could in fact use Dremweaver or Expression Web or similar to import the relevant .htm page and make subtle changes that way to text perhaps, then save and use an FTP program to upload to web server.

Ultimately of course i would like them to use me for all updates.

I will have a look at some of the suggested cms options.

Many thanks, you guys do a great job on here, especialy for those of us who are more designers than coders.

Kind regards

Nick.
