I have 3 sites that are very similar that need the following:
1) Clean up the look and feel a little and use css so that the sites can be consistent in structure and layout, only the specific graphics and color schemes would be different.
2) Have identified areas where the client can enter their content and it will display in the correct area and format. For example. on the home page we can identify an area that we call 'Welcome Content'. The client can type or cut and paste content into a separate admin interface and have it go into a database or external file and is then read into 'Welcome Content'. Another example is on the Schedule pages for the sites. I would like to be able to type or paste info into an admin interface and have it display and properly formatted in the Schedules page. That way the client can make their own updates.
I know that CMSs like Mambo will do this but I think they are way more complicated than I need and may not be flexible enough. I have also seen some applications that will do something like this (FAQ managers may work) and we would just need to implement or format, or we can do it custom. I don't know which is the best way and will consider all options.
The sites can be seen at [[login to view URL]][1], [[login to view URL]][2], [login to view URL]
Please include a brief description of how you would address the project. Do not hesitate to ask any questions.

There have been some questions regarding this project. The sites are currently hosted on a Linux server,with the database on a Windows server but I want the flexibilty to host on either.
PHP and mySQL are available.
I do want a separate interface for the client to enter content. I will post a zipped file that might help with the schedule thoughts
## Platform
Linux, Windows, IE, Netscape
The sites are currently hosted on a Linux server, but I want the flexibility of using either Windows or Linux. PHP is available as is mySQL. There are no limitations on the database.
