Hi,
for my last project, my client wanted a CMS to edit basically the entire webpage. I used Netlify CMS for this, but I ran into a lot of issues. I am not sure if CMSs are just hard in general.
What matters to me is pricing (ideally free forever) and that the CMS is easy to use and SIMPLE.
Is Storyblok better than NetlifyCMS? Or should I try Contentful?
