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.
