Making it easy for others to update

How can I make a webpage editable for non-net savy people. I'm making a site for a small business and they will need it updated almost daily and in many different places. How can I makeit so that they can update text and forms without screwin up my coding?

hmmm...that is a tough one. One thing that might be possible is to show them the code so they know generally what it looks like, but add comments with in the code stating "Edit products text here" "Do not edit below this line" or something like that. Another possibility is using databases so all they do is edit records in the database and never see your code.

I like the database option. I use 1and1 as a host, I guess I just need to learn more about using the mysql databases.
