How should I design my website to allow posterity to edit?
- by SSumner
I'm building a website for a student organization I am involved in at my college. Most of the site will be static - i.e. won't change from year-to-year, but certain pieces will. I am high-tech, but most of the others aren't, and I am graduating in the spring. So how should I go about building the website so as to allow those that take over in subsequent years to edit information?
Examples:
Events: I already plan on using a Google calendar for this
Officers: There will be profiles/pictures for all the officers on the web page
Connections: Partnerships with other organizations that we have currently, but may not in future, or may add more in future
Should I use some form of CMS (Content Management System)? If so, how restrictive are they (e.g. Drupal) to what you can build and then how easy is it to edit. What other ways could I make a very nice-looking website but allow certain pieces to be edited later?
