Site Management

Greetings to all...
I'd like to get some thoughts on the best method of simple site management
between a small clinet and solo web designer.

I have a standard Dreamweaver 'local and remote' site set up, but the remote
site is not at the root level of the clients' server - but in a sub folder.
Once I have uploaded my site to this sub folder, my client likes to check it
and make any minor text changes (technical info, latest FAQ type stuff) and
then he 'copies it to the live (root) area' of his server.

This gives a triangular arrangement of 'my local site' - 'my remote site' -
and the 'live site'.

Client is currently using a text editor for these minor tasks - but wants to
handle things in a better way.
Any suggestions on the appropriate tools and best way to manage this
arrangement so there is ease of updating with minimum work?

Thanks,

Your system -

Local site as usual
Remote site targets the test folder on the production server

Your Client's system

Local site #1 as usual
Remote site targets test folder on the production server

Local site #2 as usual
Remote site targets root folder on the production server

As the site is developed client uses site#1. When it is done, client uses
site#2, and simply copies all files from testing folder into the root
folder.

(actually I often do this by just editing the host directory field in the
Remote site definition)
