One thing you can do to make this use-case work better is to combine the spreadsheet as API with a static site generator. I made this very basic plugin for Jekyll: https://github.com/netlify/jekyll-gdrive https://github.com/netlify/jekyll-gdrive That'll let you use a Google spreadsheet as a datasource and expose the data to your liquid templates. Combine it with something like https://www.netlify.com https://www.netlify.com that'll run the builds for you and let you trigger builds via webhooks, and you have a Google spreadsheet based publishing engine where the final sites are completely static and live straight on a CDN. Used it for one site where we used the scripting options of Google spreadsheets to add a "Publish Now" image button to the sheet, so in the end user could edit the the sheet, and then press "Publish" to trigger a build+deploy. If the users are already used to spredsheets, it can be a really handy little anti CMS :) [disclaimer: I'm a founder of netlify]
