Your saying you don't know that language(s) web developers use, I'm 
saying that I use Ruby on Rails. If the page would be written in Ruby on 
Rails then there would most likely be forms you can enter some kind of 
structured text in, like Textile or Markdown. You don't have to know 
Ruby on Rails just to add a new paragraph in an already existing page.

I don't know what kind of web pages you create but I need something more 
than ddoc or html, something more than a simple markup language, 
something with if-statements. When you need to store something in a 
database you most likely will need a server side script.
