Open-source Git-based CMS for static site generators (formerly Netlify CMS).
Decap CMS is best for small businesses that already have a developer on staff and want a free, open-source way to manage content on a static website. The biggest plus is that it costs nothing and gives non-technical team members a simple editing interface without touching code. The catch is that setup requires real developer knowledge, so if you don't have that in-house, you'll spend money on setup that could have gone toward a simpler paid tool.
