I need your help! I am a designer, not a programer but want to add a bit of automation to a site.

I want to make a single page of the whole site be updateable by a total novice using a web browser and an "admin" form web page to do it. I dont want to have to edit the page and upload all the time for things that are annoyingly small and yet dynamic.

we are talking simple here... (the project would allow a secretary to toggle an indication of facilities being either open or closed.) thats all... a list of facilities and the ability for her to navigate to a page and turn their status on and off.

PHP? CGI? ASP? how do i do this without taking time i dont have to learn a new program language and install massive amounts of programs to servers????

help!

Hello John,
Just get your hands dirty a little, or hire someone(I would prefer 1th option if you have tendency to learn software development/programming.

PHP would be an easy solution if you are new to area, it works on Linux/Windows OS, pretty flexible system. You can build your CMS(Content Management Systems) basic ones or complex(with database-MySQL,...).
If you have more questions, do not hesitate to ask.
PS: Also Macromedia dreamweaver can be solution if secretary is a fast learning type and used to such tools(dreamweaver can update pages with built in ftp program)
