Let your client edit the Astro site you built.
Astro sites are fast and plain HTML at the end. Exactly what the editor wants.
The install for Astro
In src/layouts/Layout.astro paste the line before </body>. Every page that uses the layout gets it.
<script src="https://edit.thebrainer.co/edit.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_KEY" defer></script>
Then sign in at thebrainer.co/app, register the site, add your client as an editor. They get their link by email.
What the client can do
- Tap any text on the live site, type, save.
- Tell the chat in plain words: "Sunday hours 12 to 17", "new photo for the tagliatelle".
- Swap photos from the phone.
- Add a new dish, offer or testimonial by copying an existing one.
What stays yours
- The code, the hosting and the invoice.
- Layout, design, structure: not touchable by the client.
- Your studio name on the editor panel.
Questions
Does the client need an account?
No. They get a link by email that opens their site with the editor. Revoke it any time.
Can the client break the layout?
No. They change text, photos and simple styles. Layout, design and code are not touchable.
Where do the saves go?
By default we store them and apply them on the live page for every visitor. Optionally every save is a commit to your GitHub repo, or we host the site.
What does it cost?
First site free. $9 per site per month after that, $6 from 20 sites. You charge your client what you want.
Does it work with Astro?
Yes. In src/layouts/Layout.astro paste the line before </body>. Every page that uses the layout gets it.
