Bullshit.

Static HTML template + Azure Static Web App/Netlify/... is definitively faster and cheaper to setup.

I am a developer who runs multiple wordpress sites for small businesses.

Most hosting platforms offer to install Wordpress via 1-click. Once installed, it's really easy to use and edit even for a novice. Otherwise, downloading Wordpress.org and uploading the files via FTP is really easy. The most technical can edit via CLI if needed, but it's not mandatory to know how to use a shell.

What about Netlify? I've seen and heard about generating static websites, but honestly I have no idea where to start, what technologies are needed, how easy or how hard it is to explain the customer how to edit their own websites once ready..
