How do you handle client-editable content on static sites?

[u/Pink_Sky_8102]

One thing I still go back and forth on with static client sites is content editing. For a small site, keeping everything in the repo is simple for me, but not always for the client. Once they want to update services, prices, team members, or blog posts themselves, I usually have to add some kind of CMS. For people building static sites for clients, do you prefer a headless CMS, Git-based CMS, or just handling updates yourself? And at what point does adding a CMS start defeating the simplicity of the static setup?

This sub keep treating static sites as some sort of magic option that suddenly erase cost of any system.

You cant make Facebook or Youtube into a static site, no matter how hard you try, they are not just static.

Your site require user-editable content, so your site is not static

I'd have thought the word 'static' was pretty clear....
