Wordpress v Weebly for Customers Wanting to Update Their Own Sites

by Dan Bennett

Hi guys,
I've recently built 2 websites using WP themes for clients, and both are now finding they are in over their heads with doing simple Blog updates despite telling me beforehand that they were "reasonably competent" with "that sort of stuff".

While I have sent them WP training videos and even offered some free assistance, it's now at the point that these customers are costing me time and money.

Lesson learnt.

For customers that want to update their own sites after you've built it for them, do you build it in Weebly, Wix etc?

Thanks for your advice,
Dan

    Still Wordpress, you may be need to make them wordpress site with rich features, which customers just need a few clicks to get the changes.

    For some of my clients, who want to do updates to their websites, yet are technically challenged, I usually build their sites using InkTheme themes. They are customizable, yet really easy to teach a client how to make changes to their website.

        Kept getting a time-out error and refreshed the post a couple of times. Now I can't delete the other 2, so I've requested admin take them down.
