Hey y’all! After realising how much work would be to create a wp custom theme with the skills that I currently have (just HTML & CSS and currently learning Javascript) I’d like to know if any of you had experienced the creation of a website/layout for clients that, when delivered, allows the client to upload autonomously content to their website, without entering the page builder as it would be too technical/risky(the could probably break the layout)
I found out that custom fields can make it possible but I still don’t know if what I’m looking for is actually possible. Basically, a potential client asked me to make a website and upload all the content that they have till now, but allowing them to add more content in the future, not breaking the layout.
In my case I would use oxygen or maybe bricks builder to achieve that. I made a little wireframe about how the website should work when delivered.
Is there a way to make this happen with page builders or is it something that I can achieve just by creating a custom theme? If it’s possible, do you have any resources that could help me achieve that result?

Breakdance Builder has an option for this.

Forminator has an option to create and publish posts from the frontend.
Advanced Custom Fields supports this. Generally I password protect the page and then have 2 forms. One for them to enter blogs and one to enter pages.

Edits are handled there as well with some custom code to pull in the page content and replace it if the ID matches an existing post.
If you’re a beginniner then /u/grandMasterkrust’s comment is the way to go. Breakdance is ahead of the game in that department.
