CMS to edit not create

[chrbb]

Does anyone know of an open source CMS?

 

I designed and maintain our school site which was done in html, but now am wondering if there's such a thing as a CMS system that will let members of staff edit this site and update it without needing to alter the html.

Sorry should have made it clearer, I'm looking for CMS to edit the current html site, not make a new one (yet anyway)

Not really going to happen unless you code one.

that's not really a CMS your after then. A CMS will run your whole site.

 

sounds like you need something like Kompozer which is an open source WYSISWYG html editor

 

or Adobe Contribute which makes it easy for users t create and edit pages. But you will probably need to rejig your templates in order to use contribute effectively

So long as you're happy to add a few css class names to bits you want to be editable there are quite a few free alternatives. Take a look at this post and the comments for starters: The “Light” CMS Trend | CSS-Tricks

Website Baker also useful for this...

Free and simple CMS is proberly the best solution but you would have to add classes to tell the cms were can be edited.

I've looked at the ones that you add to css to make editable, they seem just the thing I'm looking for except for a couple that require you to register your ftp details with them for the software to work. Testing will begin this week if I get bored with chilling!
