Acid2 is a test page for web browsers published by The Web Standards Project (WaSP).

There are times when customers would like to be able to make minor changes to their own Web pages, but developers are often reluctant to allow such a practice because of the damage that can be done to a site. A content editing tool called SnippetMaster provides a solution that should please both customers and developers. With SnippetMaster, developers can designate editable areas of a page (called “Snippets”), and customers can edit those pre-defined editable areas, using almost any browser, without the risk of damaging the rest of the web page.

There are two versions of SnippetMaster: Lite and Pro.  The Pro version provides additional features such as the ability to preview changes while editing and the ability for users to upload files to the server.

SnippetMaster Lite is free, and single domain licenses for SnippetMaster Pro are $24.95 US for a regular license and $74.95 US for a rebrandable license.
