Just finished working on the first iteration of a website for my mom. I didn’t want to deal with a full classical CMS and maintain Databases and such, especially as my experience with wordpress, PHP and typo3 has faded a little bit. My mom’s website is basically a directory of old mansions in former eastern Prussia. Site is in German: https://gutshaeuser-ostpreussen.de https://gutshaeuser-ostpreussen.de Anyhow Stack chosen: Backend/CMS as a Service: https://prismic.io/ https://prismic.io/ which is really great because it has an easy user interface that supports drafts, media, i18n (planning a polish version of the website) and defining custom types for pages which is great to force my mom to enter data consistently. At first I used their SDK to simply query the data and rendered the Page while writing my own static site generator. Obviously very tedious. Since then I have moved away from that and landed on Nuxt which works well for me, because it allows me to iterate faster. Nuxt also supports rendering static pages https://nuxtjs.org/blog/going-full-static/ https://nuxtjs.org/blog/going-full-static/. All of the JavaScript bits are basically progressive enhancements. The page is then deployed via GitLab pages. Every time my mom changes a page, a webhook triggers a build of the Site. What really eases my mind is the ability to simply backup all the data entered, as simple JSON files. So I don’t feel like there is any big vendor lock in with Prismic.
