Helping those who come after me maintain a website.
Hello fellow programmers!
I have a website I am creating for a non-profit with multiple locations, and I want to know the best approach to take. The styling will be the same for all them, but the actual content should change depending on the location. I want to create the website in a way that is easy for someone who is not technical to update, even if it's only text, images, and links. Any thoughts would be helpful.
I would like to avoid libraries or frameworks, as I want a simple ftp server to reduce costs and complexity for everyone involved.
You're viewing a single thread.
There's a case to be made, realistically speaking, that using a well-known framework or even a CMS like Wordpress means less complexity specific to your website to understand for the next person. FTP cough SFTP or Markdown/HTML is definitely not beyond non-technical people to understand and use, but sadly there could be some resistance nowadays I imagine.
I would look into static website generators. Sadly I'm not sure what is most reliable nowadays, but I would prioritize easy of use and installation, as speed is probably meaningless on your scale. Here's a random article.
Sounds good, I'll look into it, and thank you for the article.
