Local webpage - easily editable by non-tech users ??

[edro]

We have an internal webpage used by my work department for linking network files.
It is written in old school HTML and it basically just a ton of framesets.
The content is simply a photo of our product and a list of linked network files or folders.
Super basic....

The problem is, it is slightly technical enough that most of our employees cannot update it.
I have explained how to change links, etc, but once they Right Click->View Source, they lose their mind.

This could easily be put into an Excel spreadsheet, but then multiple users cannot access at one time.
I thought about Google Sheets, but would rather keep this stored on local network.

Does anyone have an idea for what I could replace our internal webpage with that is easily editable by normal users?
I have done something similar with some local wiki type CMSs, but even those have their own syntax, etc.
It would be great if it were as simple to use as Excel, but be HTML and not need a web server.

It would look something like this:
Product 1 Name
Product 1 {image}
Product Factory Location: China
Network Link to spec sheet
Network Link to Drawing
Network Link to Agency Files

Thanks for any ideas!

My question is, using an HTML file that provides links to network files, when a user click that link, even if the syntax is correct, will he be able to open that local file? For example, an Excel file?

If he can't, what's the point?

You can share Excel files by clicking Share Workbook button on ribbon

Watch the following video to create file browse button in Excel.

Developer option must be turned on.

Well, seems not a good solution since you have to create one button for each product.

A VB.net, C# or Access program probably suits better.

Maybe an easy wiki?

Yeah, I am thinking about a simple wiki like that.
I am searching for one now.

I just created some simple pages using Excel and it is actually working quite well...
Just save as .htm and bam... it automatically created all the XML and folder structure it needs.
Not bad Excel... not bad.

Looks like I can do that in Libreoffice Calc also. Not sure what I'll use it for, but it has potentially interesting possibilities. I never would have thought to do that.

I would prefer a wiki with change tracking, rather than exporting a new HTML file every time - you could have users colliding with that, or working from an old copy of the xlsx.

As an in-between, maybe use HTML includes and create a web form that just writes the new data to file? Should be fairly easy to do.

Or Sharepoint.
