Best approach to constructing a Dynamic website

[antosgotaproblem]

Hi, hope you can offer some opinions on this one...

I'm trying to design my first dynamic website, which I want to construct in a
manner so general users with no programming skills can enter their own updates
on the web site, updates such as text firstly and secondly maybe images. I was
hoping to design maybe a template where the website read it's content
dynamically from specific documents that the users could update manually
without coding skills. hope you can follow what I'm trying to say?
So my main questions would be:
- what would you suggest as a solution to developing a website like this and
what technology would you think would suit this best?
- Secondly I am a newbie to this concept but I have alot of experience in
designing more traditional websites so does macromedia offer a solution to this
problem? or can you think of any other development envirnoment that could suit
this approach?
Skillswise I have a background in using HTML, CSS, Java and softwarewise I
have been using dreamweaver and flash.
Any ideas or opinions would be greatly appreciated, I really am just looking
for different approachs and ideas to solving this problem.
