Hi there,
I’m a freelance web dev exploring options in order not to use WordPress all the time.
I have a few questions:
- I know I can build anything but what kind of websites fit particularly well “the grav way”? I have the feeling that;
- a static landing page seems faster/lighter to developp in vanilla HTML/CSS.
- any kind of content editing (except pure text) will require me as a dev and my customer wouldn’t be able to do it him/herself (add a gallery: create a special module, add 2 columns: create a module, etc.)
- blog posts seem the only thing a customer could safely edit
Or did I miss something?
Another topic is dev time:
Do you have a collection of modules and appropriate CSS in order to create websites fast? Or a theme collection? Or do you do a lot from scratch?
Last topic is development:
I’ve seen some nice themes but content seems all over the place: In the frontmatter, in the page itself, as images, in the twig etc. Nothing I couldn’t find, but I thought: what if a customer wants to change or add an image in this section? In one module he has to use the frontmatter in another it’s in the content and in the third, the image description is used as text/title.
How do you deal with consistency?
So I’m curious about your dev workflow and usecases with customers.
