title: How to create a business side inventory manager
body: <p>I am creating my first website for a friend using python, flask, and mysql. The goal of the website is to display and sell shoes (like a much simpler/smaller eastbay or nike). </p>
  
  <p>I am at the point where I have created a database of inventory and have added some of the items myself via INSERT commands in the mysql command line. I am new to web development and am wondering what the best way to handle inventory changes would be. For example, my friend would be managing the site's inventory. However, he is not a computer science guy so using mysql is out of the question. I considered creating a tab on the site that only he (admin?) can access. This tab would contain a form that he could easily fill out and when submitted, would add the new item's info to the database.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an easier/better way to do this? I am not familiar with the standard approach for web inventory management. I am also wondering if there is an easy way for him to delete/edit existing inventory items without him having to learn mysql.</p>
  
  <p>Again, I am new so please excuse the lack of knowledge. Any direction would be appreciated, thanks</p>
