Say I've coded a site for a client and they want to be able to edit it themselves.
I know this is the domain of CMS applications like WordPress or Drupal but what if I want to use my own HTML, CSS , JS etc?
I know very little about CMS in general so I'm trying to get to grips with it.
I would really prefer to not have to change how I develop to facilitate client editing.

Treehouse Guest TeacherAre they just wanting to change some content? or the code itself?
Have you tried using forking on GitHub? That would be my first recommendation based on what I gathered from your question.
