Ask HN: What's the best cms for a grandma?
Now if I were to make a website for myself I'd probably use a static website generator or django. But I can't possibly expect that she'd be able to use these without my constant help. While she's reasonably tech savy for her age, she's still in her 60's. And I can't set her up with something like squarspace since she can just barely afford a shared server on her retirement income.
So now I'm looking for something that I can set her up with that can meet some basic requirements. Let me install it quickly and get a theme going in twig or some other theming language and provide a basic portal for her to log in and make blog posts/add pages and nothing else. I've been searching but I'm having trouble finding something that simple with documentation to back it up. So I thought I'd ask here.
What CMS would you recommend to a grandma?
You can also try ghost - if you're willing to self-host it, it will cost you $5/mo. for the cheapest cloud VM @ digitalocean or whatever)
There's also medium but I actually find their interface difficult to read in, heh.
Otherwise go for WP.com which has the new interface (even simpler IMHO) and it's free if she don't want to pay for the domain (2.33€/2.86$/month right now).
UX is so simple she won't have any problem IMHO.
