If you are going to create sites for other people should
you keep a copy on your hard drive? or just put it on a
disc and give it to them? or do both? I guess as long as
they have FP installed they can do the editing? or do most
web developers do the editing for you?

Thanks

Jen,

I personally do the following.

1- Use a reliable host that offers backups
2- Keep an updated local copy on my machine.
3- If a site is often changed I don't bother with a
client copy because making any updates on the website
makes that copy out of date, unless you are writing to
CD/RW and constantly updating that disc.
4- If they want to maintain their own site (update), I
just import the site onto their machine after it is
developed, so they work locally and then publish to the
server.
5- If the site contains advanced scripting (ASP, .NET,
Jave Script, etc..) and the client wants to update static
html pages, I urge them to do that live and to ONLY
modify certain files.

It really just depends on the client and type of site you
are developing.

Hope it helps
JDR

appreciate your reply.
