- dubcanada 6y agoHire someone who is technical? Most people don’t install the electrical or plumbing on their house, why are they trying to make a website?
- jackconsidine 6y agoFor a business web application, yeah. For someone trying to get a small marketing page / blog online, DIY solutions almost always make more business sense than paying hundreds or thousands of dollars (and then having to self-maintain or pay a retainer).
- wintermutestwin 6y agoFor non-technical people, Wordpress is a mess as it relies on clumsy plugins for WISIWIGish editing. From my research, it seems like there are three top CMS for non-techies: Squarespace, Wix and Weebly. I compared Wix and Squarespace primarily and went with Wix because Squarespace has no backup/restore capability. I'd consider backup to be essential for non tech users.
- seanwilson 6y ago> Squarespace has no backup/restore capability At all? Even if you contact support because you accidentally deleted a lot of stuff?
- tmnvix 6y agoMy clients love Wagtail. The 'streamfields' feature makes it really easy to offer editors plenty of flexibility without offering them the opportunity to butcher the site. The development experience means I love it too. I never did find a simple Wordpress workflow for managing staging and live sites in git. With Wagtail/Django keeping the configuration in code, a git workflow works. Edit: Apologies if you were actually asking about a solution to allow non-technical people to create a site, rather than manage it.
