how to edit a html/php made website

hi,

i am making a website using html and php.
My customer wants to edit the site himself like add new pictures or change texts and so on.
The customer doesn't have any knowledge about HTML, or any HTML editors like Dreamweaver and Frontpage.
I have watched some WISYWIG editors which looks quite easy to administrate, is it a good idea to edit websites in php/html for a newbeginner?

any ideas what to do???

thanks

-ain

Actually if you have access to a database like mysql, you can actually build the web site with HTML and PHP and make an HTML template, then store the text ina database table and have it printed to the page with PHP. Then make a little admin area and have then enter the text that they want to change into a form which will go into the database and then it will replace the old text area.

You can also set the pics up as variables too, set up an area in the admin section that can upload the pics(the file names will be the variables for the database), then he can just enter the new stuff into the form that you make and it's replaced. Easy as pie. I do this all the time for clients and it makes both our lives easier.
