Inexpensive options for letting client maintain page

I've built a site for someone and there is one page which will list bragin bin type products. The content will simply be some text and a photo for each product and the products listed here will change reasonably frequently.

It does not call for a database and the host does not support anyway.

The client is probably not up to learning the html to do it.

So I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on an inexpensive solution?

I was thinking of Macromedia Contribute but have not used it before.

Your host may not support "databases" but do you have the ability, via a web page, to write a text file?

Depending on the amount of data you're dealing with, you can save the data in XML within the text file. Depending on the language you can use (i.e.:ASP) you can then read/load the XML into a DOM and display it to the user in an easily editable format.

Using a plain text file may not be the best solution but it can be a place to start.

Cheers

Find a CMS company that also host. There are some cheap ones out there, and if its only pages with text and photos I believe you can find a couple for your customer to choose between.

Good luck
