Hello. It would very cool if you had a CMS where customers can edit their VSD sites online. Or, if I, for example, made a site for a client, and they wanted to update it themselves, without having the VSD program and website files, so they could go to a website link, log in, and edit simplY!

You can do that now Christopher. Just log into the S-Drive Dashboard and go to your Sites Tab. All your HTML files are there. The only catch is if you edit the site outside of VSD, the changes will be lost the next time you publish.

Yup, That's another way. But the same still applies. Publishing with VSD erases all your work.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

My approach is to keep the original VSD file with the design imprinted but the actual CMS version differers and cannot be re edited in that form. However the original VSD file can be modified and be put through the same or an edited conversion.It is a copy of the VSD file that is converted. A file converted thus in the Editor can easily be modified
