Looking for CMS adviceHey Web devs!
Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about **headless CMS**es?
I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to
@npub1gejh...9nq6, otherwise.
Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the [Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website](
Jamstack.org
Headless CMS - Top Content Management Systems | Jamstack

), but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.##
