Haven't purchased yet, but after watching some of the videos and poking around, I get the jist of how you insert this into a new page, or a page from a site that already exists. My question is, how does the CLIENT do the content edits after I have installed this onto a site I have designed? Does the client also have to have the Interactive software to do this?

I get some pretty good $$ in retainer fees for updates, but one possible client wants to be able to add photos and content on her own, so this looks like the deal I need?

Thanks very much for your reply. After the client has done their edits, are the changes then presented via ftp?

The CMS interacts directly with the MySQL database, and so do the webpages. So any changes made to the database through the CMS, will appear immediately on the website.

If you wanted to backup those changes, though, you could click "Backup" under: Admin > General and download the backup file via FTP.

But generally you only need to use FTP when first setting up the program.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
