Forget DreamWeaver and go with WordPress so that the site can be maintained by the client. Unless you wish to be bothered without payment by your relative you can offload maintenance and changes to the client with WordPress.
Or joomla (haven't tried wordpress).
I dunno. For a 'flat' site that is unlikely to be updated very often, a cms could be overkill by a factor of 10,000.
"bothered without payment" this is the key, isn't it?
Somehow, the non-paying relative's priorities are always eclipsed by more rewarding pastimes, like watching tv in your underwear...
Well that was a week from hell! Started treatment on Monday for my kidney disease (Steroids for 1 month, then Chemo drugs for 1 month, rinse and repeat for 6 months, which is nice) The steroid treatment has buggered up my blood levels so ended up in hospital from Monday to Friday at various times of the day.
Oh and I seem to be getting roid rage, especially when driving and at work, its like being on coke but without the happy buzz, really, really horrible.
Anyway, I managed to sit down for a few hours tonight to start this bloody site (wish I said no now)

Be gentle, its not like I am at all skilled in anyway at this sort of thing. The site template is ripped from a pre made and bashed around a lot by me, I even created new images for the title and back ground (Can you tell?) The site needs nothing whizzy, just the basic info about the salon so I think I have created a good looking simple design to work with. And no animated GIFS anywhere!
I still don't know how I want to display the price list but I want something easily editable for quick updating.
So tips and advice please teh!
>It'd mean a bit more effort now, but may means less effort in future
No, it means you'll spend more time training them how to use the cms to make said updates without fucking up the whole site than you would need to spend on ten years of manual updates and trying on aurora's underwear.
Peeb has summed up what I was going to say.
Opening times should be lined up, and make the text on the About Us page not just go under the photo with half a line. If there was more text it wouldn't look as bad, or make it a single column, or increase the text size so more ends up underneath so it looks like it's wrapping around the photo properly.
