A quickish question here from a newbie 
I tend to hand code my pages when I'm creating them. Recently, my boss has asked me to design a website template for the business I work for. My only problem is that I DON'T like using things like dreamweaver, frontpage or other html design software like that - I tend to use AceHTML if it's handy or else just good old fashioned notepad or some other nice text editor. My boss, however, doesn't really know how to do all this on his own, being a businessman, not a webmaster . He wants to be able to update the site on his own.
I -could- simply leave very detailed comments - if he uses something like acehtml to update the site, the comments will all be in a different colour anyway and easy to spot and understand... things like <!-- the main body text of the page goes directly after this comment--> or <!-- the title in the titlebar goes right after this comment --> would be detailed enough, I think. He's an intelligent man. If I do that, however, he won't be able to do things like change a colour or a font size unless I teach him how to update the external stylesheet.
Any suggestions on other ways to make it possible for him to edit it too? I'm a bit scqred that if I let him open up mypages in Frontpage like he wants, when he saves them again they'llbe all overcoded with extra stuff in them which is why I avoid HTML editors in the first place.... |
