Best Practices for Client Editing

  • When converting a static HTML site to a WordPress theme what’s the best practice to give clients the ability to easily edit content? Hard coding it into the theme files seems really bad, but copying the HTML to the “text-editor” on a page is also bad and occasionally messes itself up. Shortcodes is the best solution I’ve seen so far, but even those are difficult for clients to use and they’re still easy to mess up.

    So what’s the best practice / what do you guys do?

    The client would typically have a portion of the page for entering content, rather than adding content that is bound with HTML layouts. Or depending on the complexity of the template, the client would have fields in the CMS that populates content in other parts of the page. There isn’t going to be an answer that fits all because HTML templates are not all the same.
