Hi all.

 

Ok, so I'm working on a website for the place where I work, and my boss wants it to be set up so that he can easily edit the front page in a text-editor sort of format (where it's easy to change the font, color, formatting, etc.) so he can post information regarding announcements and such. My first idea was to use a blog script such as Cutenews, but I don't really need it to be a full-out blog. Just one page that can be edited from a control panel. what should be the best way to do this? (I can code PHP from scratch or use a ready-made script if anyone knows of one. I don't want it to use MySQL, though.)

 

Thanks,

Robin

Personally I would go with a drupal or wordpress install - You can configure a single page to be the homepage, with the added ability to extend it in the future if needs be. If you are wanting to create a custom one you could use something like tinymce or ckeditor for the user to input the text and format it

If you want to avoid MySQL then I recommend whisper CMS which uses flat files instead of a database. And it's very lightweight and unobtrusive.
