I am ok at static html.

I have several sites with static html which contain around 10 pages which each client of the site needs to update regularly.

So I have been looking into CMS programs.

However, I don't want these clients jacking around with these 10 pages on thier sites. Just a small area on each of those 10 pages.

Is there a simple php cms system I can set up for each site where I can put in the static html code some kind of call code to get special text from a php database to be inserted into my static html code on the fly.

Then I can create special pages each client can log into and update this special text in the php database on a regular basis.

Or should I create my sites using frames? Then my clients can update frames via a cms program and I can still protect the majority of how the page looks?

I found this list of CMS systems:

Looking for advice,
Thank you

I�m not familiar with CMS myself, but a little Googling brought up JVega.com, which lists quite a few.

As for frames, it�s generally better not to use them. Even ignoring the problem of really old browsers, your page will break on many handhelds.

An alternative to using frames with a content management system is to use header/footer files and include them using SSI or PHP or whatever server side scripting system floats your boat.

And if you can't find a CMS that works for you/your clients, they're not that hard to whip up in PHP
