Im making a website for a client and they would like to updated the sites content by themselves. How could i let them do that if all the content and code is on my computer. They already have the domain name on godaddy.com but thats it.

You may want to consider using Wordpress because it makes it easy for clients to update content online, depending on what the project is..

20,822 PointsIf your client is savvy enough then just have them edit the html and css themselves - believe Go Daddy has tools to setup FTP or edit the files directly in the browser.
Check out WordPress here on TreeHouse and see if it will work for future projects.
