@skyfaller Terrible question, but it must be asked.

Is the effort to install, teach and maintain a CMS greater than the effort for you to make the client's updates yourself?

Or is that just out of the question?

I am biased, never met a CMS I liked. Some of the static generators are not bad though.

@Strombo It is not greater than the effort to update one client's site, but if I want to scale this as a business, I can't do everything myself.

Also TMI but I have mental health issues where I go thru periods of being unavailable / unable to work on various tasks, and clients should be able to update their websites when I cannot.

Finally, if I can solve this, I could help static sites become more popular, which could help reduce the environmental impact of the Web. solar.lowtechmagazine.com/abou
