For the developer side of you I'd say go with contentful or similar but for your clients I'd say go with wordpress. It's ubiquitous and easily extendable with whatever plugin they need.

> I don't want to have them come to me to update their website everytime they need the content changed though.

No matter what site you set them up with, or how easy you make it for them, they'll still come to you. The 'trick' is to agree some service model up front so they know they have to pay you and you won't do it for free.

If I understand you correctly you're saying if I'm working on my own project go with Contentful? Also would I still be able to use WordPress plugins if I'm only going to be using WordPress for it's API?
