What would you recommend as an alternative for the non-technical inclined users who want to have a public website?

[–] non_burglar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this a trick question?

Websites are complicated. Easy, secure, cheap: pick two. There is no such thing as a universally easy, secure and cheap solution, or else we would always be using it.

Assuming you want secure and easy, I would suggest you pay someone who knows what they're doing.

No, not a trick question at all.

I know what I am doing but people I work for do not, therefore my question for an alternative where these people can write text on a simple website in a WYSIWYG editor. Going by your comment you haven't found one either which makes WP sadly the only option for this specific use case.

I haven't found one, no. I just use markdown and a static HTML site generator.
