A lot of companies that create websites for people here in Luxembourg use WP, and I’ve snooped around the backend of a couple. One thing I’ve noticed is that they all use e.g. WPbakery quite heavily, with the end result being that you basically *have* to know HTML and CSS to update the text, and most clients can forget about making any cosmetic or layout changes whatsoever.
It’s been a few years since I used WP professionally, but back in the day when I would set up sites for people, I would always make sure to keep it as simple as possible for the end backend user to use. Any text would be updateable by simple WYSIWYG editor etc.
What is the standard today? Is it normal for clients not to be able to easily update their own site?

The standard is to use Gutenberg, which is the built in block editor that ships with WordPress. If a theme is developed correctly with it, the client does not need to know HTML and it’s just drag and drop.
