I work with small businesses who just want to make simple changes to their static sites (like editing text in a certain section or swapping an image). They don't need to add pages or rearrange content.
Wordpress and Drupal are overkill.
Basically, what I need is something super simple that allows me to use php to mark certain text areas or images that can be changed through an admin area.
Anyone know something like this.

30,494 PointsOh sorry dude! This was literally the first post I saw in the community yesterday, which is apparently 6 months old! But yeah too true on the clients, you can't get much simpler than a stripped down WordPress but clients are often too lazy to even login and try.

14,238 PointsYea, since I asked this question I discovered ACF, which is amazing, and learned a lot of PHP. I also realized most clients won't use any CMS, no matter how simple it is.
