CouchCMS VS sanity

CouchCMS caters to precisely this use-case; works by getting retro-fitted into existing static HTML/CSS designs.

Few years back I used Couch CMS for several projects.

CouchCMS should be a perfect fit for this use-case - it "retro-fits" within existing HTML designs.

Take a look at Couch CMS. You install it on your server like you would Wordpress, add code snippets to your existing HTML, and you have a functioning CMS.

Take your existing static (HTML/CSS/JS) design and retrofit CouchCMS into it.

For Sanity users:

Sanity is a flexible and customizable headless content management system (CMS) designed to empower developers and content creators to build digital experiences. It has a free plan which includes a hosted, real-time content database which means you don’t have to go through the stress of looking for a backend service to deploy your backend Api.

Sanity.io - Platform for structured content with an open-source editing environment and a real-time hosted data store. Unlimited projects. Unlimited admin users, three non-admin users, two datasets, 500K API CDN requests, 10GB bandwidth, and 5GB assets included for free per project.

The world of web development is constantly evolving, with new tools and technologies emerging to optimize the content creation and management process. One such tool is the Sanity Presentation Tool, a powerful feature within the Sanity.io ecosystem designed to enhance the content editing experience. This tool bridges the gap between content management and frontend presentation, offering a seamless, real-time editing interface that is invaluable for content creators and developers alike.

A headless one is responsible only for data management and providing an API for other applications to show this data. When talking about headless CMS, Strapi or Sanity comes to my mind first, but there are many more.

You could check out Storyblok, they have a nice free tier (most headless CMSes do) so you wouldn't have to pay for hosting. Some other good options are Prismic and Sanity Sanity.

I recently started a project using sanity as a headless cms, and it was pretty easy to set up. Looking at the pricing, you might even be able to stay on the free tier for this site.
