    <p>As a side project I tutor grandparents and other computer novices in Computer &amp; Internet 101, from physically using a mouse to dealing with e-mail/searching/etc. Web development isn't really my area of focus - I do have reasonable HTML/CSS/Javascript etc skills, so I can throw together a decent-looking simple, static site - but occasionally I get asked to put together extremely simple websites for these people, that they can update themselves; that is, edit text-based content without giving Grandpa a heart attack by making him come face-to-face with HTML/Javascript.</p> <p>I've waded through a mile-long list of CMS software - largely culled from the many other similar questions on SO - but they've all got something ruling it out: hosted, restricts the design (can't use w/existing CSS, looks "Word-press-y", etc), not free/FOSS, etc. I wonder if "CMS" is even the right word for what I'm looking for. <strong>What I need is a simple text editor for the client: that is, something that will give the client a text box of some variety, let them edit it, and update the content with that info.</strong> They can't mess with navigation, add new pages, change <em>anything</em> other than text. If it was <em>really</em> fancy, they could upload a picture. </p> <p><strong>I was planning to do this just with a couple of password-protected php forms, but thought I'd ask if there's anything already out there that might provide this functionality? Any suggestions on building my own version of this, in PHP or something else?</strong> </p> <p>What I'm really interested in is:</p> <p>1) the simplicity/customize-ability of the admin interface (or lack of admin interface, if the client could somehow edit directly in the page), and </p> <p>2) ease of set up for me (not getting paid much if at all for this, don't want to wade through three million plugin options to figure out how to get some unwieldy, high learning-curve framework to do what I want).</p>

    1. COI can't prevent anyone from flagging this as a possible duplicate, but please know that I'm only posting this after I went through a pretty exhaustive list of SO questions tagged "CMS" (exhausting, too). The closest I found is this: [A “CMS” for a one-page site?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1985396/a-cms-for-a-one-page-site), but it doesn't address if there's a pre-rolled solution out there.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
