If you are going to create sites for other people should
you keep a copy on your hard drive? or just put it on a
disc and give it to them? or do both? I guess as long as
they have FP installed they can do the editing? or do most
web developers do the editing for you?

Thanks
 
Jen,

I personally do the following.

1- Use a reliable host that offers backups
2- Keep an updated local copy on my machine.
3- If a site is often changed I don't bother with a
client copy because making any updates on the website
makes that copy out of date, unless you are writing to
CD/RW and constantly updating that disc.
4- If they want to maintain their own site (update), I
just import the site onto their machine after it is
developed, so they work locally and then publish to the
server.
5- If the site contains advanced scripting (ASP, .NET,
Jave Script, etc..) and the client wants to update static
html pages, I urge them to do that live and to ONLY
modify certain files.

It really just depends on the client and type of site you
are developing.

Hope it helps
JDR
