I'm not to sure about this...or where this belongs...this is my first post...i am trying to figure out how to make it so that on a webpage i make that whomever i am making it for can edit things/upload new pics/etc without me having to do them. like having editable regions in the page or what? from the handful (of CMS's) i have tried (mainly PHP ones), these are scripts where u can CREATED a webpage without having html/coding/etc knowledge...i need it so that a page i've made (using templates/css/html/etc) and uploaded to a server/host...so that someone (who doesnt know html/coding) can go in to a URL or something and be able to edit the txt/images i have on those pages...but not change anything else. i could be missing something/doing something wrong but from all the ones i've seen/tried its so you can CREATE a site without having coding knowledge...not EDIT an EXISTING site. i'm not sure how to do it and i really would like to find out how, can someone please help?!

Why not use one of the more streamlined CMS systems to run the backend on a hardcoded site? Try www.cmsmadesimple.org, for really customised pages just make each individual page a template.

The MODx cms will allow you to create a web site and then allow registered (web) users to edit pages from the front end using the QuickEdit module.

I also have this problem - a lot of the admin pages are too confusing - especially if I where to ask a non web alliterate client to log onto these - i just need something where website owner>types in specific url to admin section>options to change images or add news etc....> click then complete – I don’t really have any advance programming skills so I’m a little stuck! Anyone help?

You'll need a lot of free time. You aren't just gonna learn PHP overnight and learn how to build a complex CMS (especially not build one *well*).

yeah, it's no overnight job..
