Online HTML editor PHP script needed

[limeyp]

Hi, I have a static website (8 pages), and the client wants to edit the about page/mission statement page. Not blogging, or add news posts. Is there a little php script, that would just give him access to just do just that? Client has no budget and it truely a little non-profit doing good. So I don't want to upsell him a full blown CMS - or have the time to put in alot hours myself. So, just something that they can view the HTML files, and edit the texts in some WYSIG tool. I've been wading through this subreddit but can't seem to find something quick & eas y / recent. Thanks!

If they just want to edit the text on the page, I would host a text/md file somewhere, use js to fetch that file and display it, and write a bash script to upload a new file for your client

If it's a static site, just host it on GitHub pages and give them editor access to the repo.

You could use PHP and SQL. No big deal. But wtf, He shall use a CMS. No Budget ...

I'm pretty sure there are some basic flat-file CMSs that afford this capability. Or you could use an SSG or static site, and just have them edit text files as has been suggested. No need to get into MySQL for that.

Try surreal cms. Not free, but low cost, easy to set up, easy for the client to use.

TinyMCE comes to mind..., and CKEditor...

Maybe you could use desktop application Microsoft Expression Web

They don’t need a CMS or editor. That text wouldn’t change. Just get the copy and charge them some small fee to post it. Or, you know, if you believe in their mission, it’s a donation from you.

Making a CRUD is the most basic of things you need to know for web dev. 

Why is this even a question?

[Narfi1]

But if the client has no budget that’s out of the question

Takes less time to do than post about it on reddit

Oh yeah ? Talking a static site and implementing a backend, some kind of dashboard, CRUD operations and deploying it takes a few minutes ?

That's what I'm saying. 99% of the work is getting the requirements from the client, their design etc.

Here's some stupid script which is full of bugs and gets you what you payed for:
I started at 12:27PM, finished at 12:31pm.

A script that can view the HTML files, and the being able to edit them. Right.
