Does anyone have any recommendations for a firm who can take a static website and transition to CMS?

It's a very simple site (literally a couple of pages) but the update process is a PITA. Currently hosted on GoDaddy so open to the idea of having it redone in the likes of Wordpress or using any basic CMS.

With such a small site I'd just get a new one designed in WP, you'll have all the CMS you need then and it'll be easier/cheaper than trying to add any type of CMS to what you have. TBH I am not even sure if its possible to add a CMS facility to a non-CMS site.

I'm pretty sure that will end up being what, in effect, happens - just want to maintain the same basic design if we can.

I think it's possible just need to know the code used.

Then you may easily do it.

Just try to encourage whoever does it to not create a complicated backend which requires a hefty manual to learn to use it when a basic WP CMS with a basic WP template is fairly intuitive.

Sick and tired of having to deal with updating sites where the designer's tried to be clever and the end result is plugins don't work properly or you try to use italics and it's just ignored for some reason.
