I’ve built a website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (including some jQuery) for a company. Now I need to set up a way for non-technical admins to update content and images without coding skills. The site is hosted on 1and1.com.
I’m looking for a simple solution that lets admins:
- Log in to the site
- Click on sections to edit text
- Replace images easily
The goal is to allow the company to manage their own updates, as I won’t have time to do it myself. It doesn’t need to be fully dynamic - just a straightforward backend system for content management.
Any suggestions for user-friendly tools or approaches that could work with a static site? I’m open to different options as long as they’re easy for non-developers to use. Thanks!
yo leo, another idea is using netlify cms. it’s free and works great with static sites. you can set it up to let admins edit content right on the page. plus, it integrates with git for version control. might be worth a look if you’re on a budget!
Have you considered implementing a lightweight CMS like Cockpit? It’s a self-hosted solution that could work well for your static site. Cockpit provides a user-friendly interface for content management without the need for a complex database setup. You can create custom fields for different content types, allowing admins to easily update text and images. It generates API endpoints, so you can fetch the updated content and integrate it into your existing HTML structure. This approach maintains the simplicity of your static site while adding the desired admin editing capabilities. The learning curve for non-technical users is relatively low, making it a viable option for your company’s needs.
hey, have you ever checked headless cms options like contentful or strapi? they’re pretty user-friendly for non-tech admins. it might take a bit to set up but could really empower your team. how much are ya looking to invest in this?
