cms? confused

[acidr4in]

Hi guys and girls,

Im new to webdesign and im currently trying to make it on my own, theres one thing that i cant seem to get around my little brain.

Ok say i design a website for a client in dreamweaver and upload it to my hosting account , ive currently got hosting with godaddy , i want to be able to offer to my clients a way to access the website on the backend.

So if say they wanted to change certain things like a price or a telephone number they could do so with no technical knowledge , instead of ringing me up!.

I have no idea what to use , ive been told use joomla or wordpress , but how?

As far as i can see (which isnt far ) u can change details with the above mentioned only if the site is built using those programs not dreamweaver.

So to sum up

You could do your design in dreamweaver if that is what you are comfortable using. Then make the required css changes in a blank wordpress theme.

Kinda my WordPress work flow. I code it up in HTML/CSS first and then move it over to a blank theme. I have (or should I say am STILL creating) my own blank HTML5 WordPress theme to use for this, but there are several blank ones to use (look at digging into WordPress, they have 2 decent ones). Keep in mind that WordPress can tweak the markup some so you will want to use a browser development tool, such as firebug, to see what elements and sectors may change.
