CMS OR EXTERNAL PLUG IN OR SOFTWARE

[hdebeer]

More and more clients are requesting to do the editing themselves, it is a bit frustrating since Xara does not have a fully cms system in place (it would be nice for xara...), the cloud xara option is not practical since it is very limited. Is there another program that I can use as a plugin or software that i can install to enable a client to edit?

There is XT-CMS created by TG member XTom

Thank you but the XT cms is not user friendly and even I do not understand it, can I use Surreal CMS? It is an external programme

No you can't use Surreal CMS as every time your republish your Xara site, all the client changes will vanish.
Is you lack of understanding and user unfriendliness based on trialling XT-CMS? http://www.xt-cms.com/demo/.

I am not a XT-CMS user but recognise the integration effort that has gone into it.

You can have a client have access to a Xara design but having the client buy a Xara licence.
I think you are mixing together client access and CMS as if they were the same.

I've worked with Xt-cms and it can give you client access to edit specific areas only that you designate with place holders. it has features for a blog, shopping cart etc. It does take a bit of set up but once that's done it's actually quite easy to use, and the set up isn't really all that difficult either.

Xtom has a series of videos on the XT-CMS site that are worth watching and some pdf documentations are available as well. Xtom will also provide support on his forum as well.
