its all about client need i suppose.
We are upfront about our ftp/editing access.
Clients come to us for our expertise and if they want to edit their own pages, we recommend other firms. No harm, just not the right fit for us. We are very protective of our designs and we know that the average client doesnt know the first thing about our industry.
