Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to web development and just wrapped up a simple website for my client who runs a driving school. I've deployed it on Netlify, but now he wants the ability to update things like text, titles, and service descriptions on his own, without needing to come to me for every little change or having to deal with any code.
I've heard about Netlify CMS and headless CMS options, but I'm a bit lost on a few things:
- How user-friendly is Netlify CMS for someone who's not tech-savvy?
- Is it really free for one client to use?
- Would it be the best choice for a simple site like this?
I really want to provide him with a clean admin panel that he can log into and use without breaking anything. Any tips or examples you can share would be super helpful! Thanks a bunch!

You might want to consider using something like Joomla or WordPress. They're both pretty straightforward for non-technical users!
Another approach is to create a config screen where your client can edit text and other elements. Just save those settings and pull them into your pages. This way, your client can change things without ever touching the code.
That sounds good, but isn't it just easier to use WordPress? It already handles all that for you!
