I have a function with html+css+js for a calendar with some math things. And i want to convert it into a shortcode, to not copy/paste code in differentes places. Is it posible have a example of a plugin using static content with a shortcode function.

Thanks

Thanks for your answer. Most pagebuilders I found quite overload and in the end not suitable for customers, but if you can recommand beaver, I will have a look at it.

In the end, I always ask the customers, how skilled and patient they are with.. let’s say styling a word document? Based on the answer I can judge, if they will be able or not. ^^

Good question! I actually have had success training users in page builders (I use Beaver Builder), so I’d say that’s my closest thing to a recommendation. (Most good page builders will render shortcodes, by the way, so your users can at least live-preview shortcodes you write yourself.)

Beyond that, I agree that it’s important to manage expectations around complex layout/data/functionality/etc. changes being a completely hands-off thing in WordPress.

GUI and everything, that is not rechable through a GUI they should not touch? Hand them a page-builder and watch them messing up? or do you think there is no “one for all”?

I always struggle a bit with client expectations, that wordpress means, the now can “change _everything_ on the site” themselves…
