Logo, Contact information etc... basically be able to design the page as we wanted.
I was thinking something else, like a vanilla URL [edit.clientsite.com/login/yourclient.com] or somehow a system that would be uploaded to the hosting account that would give them control on their own domain (preferred): [edit.yourclient.com/login].
As for our fears being unfounded, I only have to say one word… Microsoft. When they began supplying people with a more powerful and feature rich Word, then Publisher, I lost business. I was told by many clients that they would rather pay an employee $X an hour to create "stuff" rather than have it professionally designed at $XX by me.
Since desktop publishing became popular the trend I've witnessed firsthand is - In bad times my services are among the first to be cut. And when things turn around; among the last to be brought back. A Fact I've seen time and again in the 27 years in this industry.
Thank you
