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.

    Have you worked with WordPress before? You could create a theme for the sites to maintain consistency, while letting the client have CMS access to edit the content.

      Problem is teaching non techies how to use that static site generator. Start talking about html or git and the eyes will glaze over. Definitely not sustainable.

    Unless this is a full blown web application, going with a service like squarespace or WordPress is the way to go. Then the only “dev” work is styling and maybe 1-2 integrations with other services. This puts the power into the admins’ hands.
