I'm interested in understanding what marketers and editors/creators do when they need to update websites that don't have a classic editing platform like WordPress or Drupal. Do they learn how to use a Headless CMS, or maybe ask for full support from dev?
They could also learn how the website works, or how markdown works. Not everyone needs to be treated like toddlers. Colleagues can be surprisingly capable if you educate them.
Why should they have to conform to your poor choice of tech? Why would anyone want their content creators use html or limited markdown when we've had competent GUI alternatives for decades now.
Indeed. But I also know lots of people in tech/IT who would straight out refuse to touch Git/Github/Markdown. Some of them might have good reasons. Some do not, but still refuse.
It is made by the guys at netlify.com and works really well if you are hosted with them.
I believe you can set it up to work with just about any host though as it just hooks up to a git repo and lets you make changes via a UI that you host wherever you have the rest of your site.
If not using a CMS that compiles to static, teaching HTML classes works surprisingly well. We had a team of non-technical people become comfortable enough with Bootstrap classes to be productive in a reasonable time length. To actually get their edits, just have them either edit and commit directly on GitHub or Gitlab, or use a Git client with a nice enough GUI.
Using Revamp, you can continue building on top of your existing stack while also allowing non-developers to make changes and deploy them immediately.
Currently in beta.
