Hello fellow programmers!

I have a website I am creating for a non-profit with multiple locations, and I want to know the best approach to take. The styling will be the same for all them, but the actual content should change depending on the location. I want to create the website in a way that is easy for someone who is not technical to update, even if it's only text, images, and links. Any thoughts would be helpful.

I would like to avoid libraries or frameworks, as I want a simple ftp server to reduce costs and complexity for everyone involved.

Document document document.

Also, the nice thing about libraries, frameworks, and CMSs is that they already have documentation. If it seems like a pain to learn one of those, imagine how much worse it would be for someone to learn custom code that doesn’t have any resources on Google.

Thanks for your response! I'll do my best, however the issue is I don't necessarily want someone to look over documentation just to edit a date on a webpage. I do understand what you mean though.
