How to update a newsletter by the site owner, not webmaster?

As a consultant I designed and hosted the web site on a server.
The site owner, in a different location, would like to post regular
newsletters and articles to the site without interaction from me.
How can this be done?
The hosting service allows for "Frontpage Extensions"
 
One way is for him to have FrontPage (dangerous for design, but potential
source of income for you)

Another is with a content management system (CMS). Check out
http://www.contentseed.com one of our beloved MVP's here developed it and
its easy to use. This will keep your design safe from site owner but allow
him to post stuff to the website.

Thank you very much!
Info confirms what the hosting service recommended.

Sad to discover that Frontpage uploaded to the server in FTP will be prone
to corrupted files and the advantage of Frontpage's special features, like
forms, will be lost also. It would make life easier if the site owner could
just install FTP software and control the newsletter content from their
computer.
 
You may be able to FTP to a subweb/subsite (if your host allows creation of
subs), then let the end user upload to the subweb. FTPing to a subweb won't
corrupt the fp extensions.

Ping Chris Leeds (he's an mvp herein) and ask him if you can use ContentSeed
in this manner. Or email Chris from the ContentSeed website.

btw...IE has a built in ftp client so user wouldn't have to install
anything.
