I'm looking for a solution that allows non-developers to easily build their e-commerce websites, while still enabling professional developers to step in and add advanced features without the developers needing to be overly involved in the day-to-day management. I'm currently working on a project using Svelte for a Wix site, and I initially thought using an `` would give me the flexibility I needed. However, I quickly ran into issues with sandboxing that Wix imposes, which restricts what I can do, like triggering downloads programmatically since I can't access the `document`. It feels like I'm going to keep hitting roadblocks. Is there a better platform or solution out there? I think there's a significant market for this type of semi-independent setup, and I'm hoping by 2025 we'll see something that really works. I know Wix is making strides, but currently, they seem to fall short.

Have you considered WordPress? It's designed for this exact scenario. Non-developers can set up their own WordPress sites fairly easily, and developers can jump in to customize things as needed without any major headaches.
What about using web components? They might provide the level of interactivity you're looking for, but I wonder if they might complicate things more than just using standard JavaScript frameworks.
Aren't web components actually more complex than regular JS frameworks? I've found them to have a steeper learning curve.
That's interesting! Have you actually used it yourself? Is it also effective on WordPress.com? Last time I tried it (like 10 years ago), it was such a mess that I didn't want to revisit.
