How to create a built in Content Management System

Hey guys, I've found myself in a spot of trouble.
My client commissioned me to create for him a website for his new restaurant (Paul's Place). I built him a responsive site using another website I found online (www.megnarestaurant.com) as a guideline. The problem is though that the client plans on changing the menu about every month and wants to be able to change it himself. I could teach him how to edit the files and add new ocntent himself (It's not even that hard after all) but that just doesn't seem like the right option.
Instead, I want to create a built in content management system that doesn't require a third party website or software like Wordpress or Joomla. I was thinking about having a page called "www.paulsdiner.com/login" where the client can log in using a username and password and can then change the content of the website.
My menu page is pretty much the same as the one found on "www.megnarestaurant.com/starters.html". I'm also using gloriafoods as an ordering system meaning that the client will have to change it on both the website itself and on the actual gloriafoods website (Not really an issue).
I want the client to be able to edit the menu boxes and add new boxes along with being able to add a new menu section (Like in the Jump Menu) which follows the template of the existing Jump Menu.
I'm making this website as a favour to my friend so I'm not being paid. As a point of reference (And future bragging and maybe some innocent blackmail ) how much do you guys think the creator of "www.megnarestaurant.com" charged his client?

Have a look at Perch
Perch - The really little content management system (CMS) - Perch
It requires a php/mysql database to run but the tables and set up are all automated through the Perch set up files - you just need a server that runs php/mysql. It works on the same principals as the one Ben suggested but its a lot cheaper for a one off site - however if you intend to build more CMS driven sites the one Ben suggested might be more financially viable in the long run.
The nice thing about Perch CMS is it fits in with your workflow unlike Wordpress/Joomla where you have to jump through hoops to change anything.
Plus I think you can take Perch for a spin before buying (or at least you could when I was exploring CMSs) - you can't with Power CMS. I never investigated Power CMS beacuse I would not buy something before trying it. It looks good but it might be a bit dated as it doesnt seem to be in continuous develoment. Perch is in a constant state of development and the guys are working to make it better on a daily basis.

  • CMS (Content Management System)

    Hi,
    Firstly and quickly some background. I have a web design and development company and am currently bringing my company into the 21st century by revamping my site and my method of developing sites from a fixed width layout to a responsive layout using sass + compass and Zurb’s foundation framework.
    I would like to add a built in content management system into my site that will allow my clients to log into an account set up for them via my website which will allow them to edit certain elements of their site such as text and images as well as adding in additional content / pages. Something that would allow me to wrap a class round elements of sites to show which sections I want to be editable by my clients would be ideal.
    Ideally I would like to find a method / tutorial to build my own robust reliable easy to use CMS so I don’t have to pay a third party.
    I don’t mind using third party software but it has to be able to be integrated into my site so my clients can edit content on their site through mine. Also I don’t want the CMS part of my site to have another company’s logo etc.
    Hope this all makes sense, any help that can be given is much appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Elliot.

    All the websites I build are based on a custom CMS that I've been refining over five years.
    If, as you say, you want to build your own CMS, here are some points:
    1. You must be able to write PHP and SQL code effortlessly. Also know some javascript.
    2. Allowing clients to upload and edit material on the site raises many security issues, which must be addressed. You must build the CMS so that if a hacker breaks into it, the damage would be minimal. Also, clients may "unwitingly install material you don't want to allow, like javascript.
    3. If clients have the ability to create new pages, then they must also be given the ability to manage their menu system. Assuming that the menus are multi-level, this is more complex to program than just giving clients text boxes to add content to.
    There is a book on creating a CMS called "Buid your own database driven website using php & mysql," but it's outdated and has many shortcomings.
    PHP Solutions by Powers will teach you many of the things you need to build a CMS, although it's up to you to put it all together.
    Unless you need to build a CMS that has complex features that no off-the-shelf CMS can accommodate, then I suggest you not try. Instead of learning to build your own CMS, apply your time to learning Drupal, Joomla, or even WordPress. Then modify your existing websites to work with the CMS.

  • I am using iPad pages, and figuring out how to create a table of content.

    Hello
    I am using pages on my iPad Air, and figuring out how to create a table of content? (TOC)
    Anyone can help me please?

    Based on what I have found, at this time, it appears that the only way to add a TOC or Bibliography to a Pages file is via Pages for MAC. Once that is done, you can automatically add entries in Pages for iOS. But you cannot initially add the element.
    It is not out of the question that there are some templates for Pages for iOS available that already have these added and available - but I cannot say first hand. All of the built in templates for iOS appear to be for short format documents and I have yet to find one that includes the TOC or Bibliography.

  • How to create a Table of content in pages?

    I am using iPad pages, and figuring out how to create a table of content.

    I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
    Good luck!
    P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.

    Hi,
    Tou can use Table inside table to show the details this way but I'm not sure about Expand/Collapse.
    Expand/Collapse are part of HGRID.
    I think we can develop this functionality with little manipulation.

  • Creating iBooks for a company's content management system

    Hi,
    I am a marketing professional for a medical device company.  We recently launched a content management system app for the iPad that we developed for all of our sales representatives to use in the field.  This allows us to push new pdf's, videos, etc., out to the field, pull content back, and track its usage.
    I've recently discovered iBooks Author, and I think it holds tremendous potential in allowing us to easily create new, interactive content for the iPad.  I know that the exported .ibooks files for iPad can only be displayed in the iBooks app, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to push/pull/track usage of the iBooks on our sales reps' iPads.  Also, would there be a way to alter our content management app to run certain content through the iBooks app?
    Thanks in advance!
    Matt

    > it would be possible to push/pull/track usage of the iBooks on our sales reps' iPads.
    Do you have an Enterprise Account (app development)...?
    >, would there be a way to alter our content management app to run certain content through the iBooks app
    In theory, yes, via OpenURL.

  • Is it possible to create a Muse site that my client can edit using a content management system?

    Muse is a great tool for a print based designers to be able to create websites.
    However most clients want to be able to manage their content and hosting.

    A good example would be this site for a holiday let business:-  http://www.gurnard-pines.co.uk
    The client called me and said they wanted a website design, they had a domain name and web hosting etc.
    I created a design in Illustrator and asked a freelance web developer to code the site and incorporate a content management system, as the client wanted the ability to change the dates / prices / availability / attractions etc.
    When I get asked to create a website, the client nearly always wants the ability to edit the content themselves to avoid the cost of implementing regular changes.
    Hope this helps, feel free to call me on  07799 697646.
