Setting up Content System

Setting up a content management system for my site 

Problem Statement: I want to be able to setup Content on my site so I can upload content and change it without re-building the app. 

Goals

  • Be able to update any page on my site without having to redeploy the app 
  • Have the app code clean of content 

Options

  • Hubspot
  • Wordpress-headless
  • Build my own 

Hubspot

  • Pros
    • Has a free option to get started 
    • Has an integrated blog component with an API
  • Cons
    • Page system doesn't work for my use cases
      • Geared for creating landing pages hosted on hubspot, can get some information via API but not the full page HTML 
    • Locked into hubspots system and formating 

Wordpress-headless

WP engine advertises a headless CMS option that can drive pages. On first glance it looked geared towards what I was trying to accomplish. However as I digged into their documentation it required generating an app code and starting from their template. I think this could work for someone futher along in their coding experience but for me it was too much to get started.
