Cms website manageability?
I'm building my first cms website for a client and just wanted to find out the standard for cms website manageability. As it is, I have created custom fields where all of the website content is stored. This is able to be modified obviously. However other than modifying the content already present on the design, adding and deleting more categories and data would be difficult. Ie I have a services page where services are listed with their price. Is it just part of the cms environment that the client wouldn't be able to go in and add an extra service without first hard coding the HTML file and adding an extra div and custom field key? Also, with the design as every service has its own div, which is styled to have a border, deleting a service withouth changing the HTML also isn't possible as the div border remains visible. Is this viable cms design?

I'm not sure how your question ended up in the SEO section of Yahoo Answers nor does the question make a whole lot of sense. This indicates to me that you don't fully understand what a CMS is for in the first place. There are two primary aspects - the backend which is used to populate a database or other storage system and the frontend which reads the database/storage mechanism to generate HTML for the end-user. A scripting language, such as PHP, is used to manage both aspects. Your issue sounds more like you are hardcoding the frontend, which defeats the purpose of a CMS. You should dynamically generate the page that lists the services. You should also craft both the frontend and the backend so that when someone deletes a service, your frontend code won't even care/notice that something is gone/deleted.
