My uncle wanted simple to edit website for his bussines, so I made an easy to use CMS.

I am a 23year old computer science student and my uncle runs a cleaning service for clothes. He asked me to update his bussines website from 20 years (like every family member when you are a programmer). So I whipped up a simple modern website that has everything he needed.

Not a week goes by and he again asks me to change some text on the website according to the current sale then later to maybe change the working hours to new ones and so on... small things but still they take time and are annoying to change frequently. So I started to look for some simple CMS that I could incorporate into the website so he could change the text by himself. He is not a big tech savy (can use basic Excel but that's about it) so I couldn't find a simple enough CMS.

Being a crafty guy I used Google Sheets API to create a makeshift CMS so text on the website would be read from the dedicated cells in the Sheet. The thing worked like a charm. It was easy enough to use and the technology was familiar so he could use it well. Apart from the fiddely API integration at first it worked... until he deleted a cell, or renamed a list or something like that. The whole thing broke.

I had enough and decidet to create my own simple CMS that even an ape could use. It would consist of only the text name, the text value and a save button. So within a month it was done. Finaly everything worked and I didn't have to worry about the website.

I later decided to polish the CMS further and made it into full fledged service so people with the same problems could use it. You can check it out at editease.net it is completley free. I would appreciate any kind of feedback regarding the bugs, design or any further improvements.
