   Just curious. I happened to pick this one from a book:

   https://www.symphonyonline.co.uk/

   I do not think it is Wix or WordPress.

   Another question: If a client wanted to edit their own website, like it can be supposedly done with Wix, WP, Weebly, SquareSpace,...without having to buy software or subscribe to DW etc... And purchasing P7 extensions.

   What is the best approach?

   And I should have mentioned front-end software for WP like Oxegyn,... and buying something like CoffeeCup (UGLY AND BIG OBNOXIOUS WEBSITES),... The clients still would have to purchase and learn those but not with the default WP, Wix, etc...

   IF they can find an appropriate template. I never could with any of them!

   According to this site
   https://builtwith.com/?https%3a%2f%2fwww.symphonyonline.co.uk
   It's built with Expression Engine.

   For clients to edit the site, you'll need some type of cms. Surreal has a free option.

   You code your site as usual, then mark certain areas you want to allow the client to edit.

   Thank you Vicki! I did not expect to get a reply here to my post.

   I had no idea the MS Expression was still around.

   I have tried SimpleCMS but their support is non-existent But it does work pretty well. Maybe I wil check out SurrealCMS!

   Thanks for getting back to me!!

   Surreal is very easy and simple. If you need something more powerful, I recommend Processwire. That one will do about anything you imagine, but more complexity in setting it up.

   Thank you so much.

   I usually use PowerCMS from webassist for my client's CMS. It works great, simple for them to use. They are updating it for use with MySQLi and PHP7.

   I tried a demo of SimpleCMS and it seems to work well. A little confusing for me to set up as far as users and branding but that maybe just me.

   However, there is no customer support whatsoever. I have sent emails to their generic email address but never received a reply.

   WebAssist has some neat things. But I do not see PowerCMS listed in their menu.

   Thanks for your suggestion Savio!
