The maintainability question.
THE PROBLEM
Content lives in files, edited and rebuilt.
A non-technical person cannot do that.
THE OPTIONS
The owner learns the workflow A content editor connected to the source The site is maintained by whoever built it Accept that it rarely changes
THE EDITOR OPTION
Services provide a friendly interface writing to your content files and triggering a rebuild.
That restores usable editing, and adds a dependency and configuration.
THE HONEST ASSESSMENT
If the business owner cannot edit the site, it will not be edited.
A site nobody updates loses value.
WHEN STATIC STILL MAKES SENSE
The content genuinely rarely changes A technical person maintains it The editor option is properly set up
WHEN IT DOES NOT
A business wanting to post news, add products or update prices themselves.
WHAT TO ASK BEFORE CHOOSING STATIC
Who will edit this in two years, and can they?
