App Implementation Question

[saikarthik]

I want to build a very basic website with a listing. For example, a restaurant menu. But the menu can be updated anytime by a non-technical user. What's the best and cheapest location?

I am a Cloudron user, and I am trying to keep the costs < $5/month (for the AWS EC2 server). I am an SWE and can build a custom Cloudron app for this. Very open to using open-source projects, CRM, etc.

How would you design this solution?
Where will you store this menu data?
What front end would you use to update the menu? WordPress, git, etc.

@saikarthik That seems like a no brainer for WordPress, especially if you're going to have the customer do menu updates themselves.

There are a plethora of WP resources and ways to get help too, depending on your support model.

EspoCRM could be set-up to handle that and taking online orders, etc. with additional compelxity.

On the other hand, if it's not something with online orders, any menu can be made into a super simple static site/page with the menu being a few images or an embeded PDF.

Depends on how fancy do you want to go.
