You have most likely experienced a situation where the client asks you to develop a custom static site with general info about the business, services, and contact info.

The client says the content will not change, so you eliminate the need to base it on WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc. So you write it from ground-up, deploy it on a server and the client is happy for now.

Half a year later, the client has changed the mind and decided to change some information in it, so he/she asks for some edits.

You might get down with one case, but what if you have like 50 sites? How do you deal with situations like that?

1) Do you always create some CMS that comes along in the beginning, no matter the complexity of the site and what the client assures about the content always being 'static' (as you know, it will be not), and then ship the site with access to CMS so clients can edit it later by themselves?

2) Do you prefer not to implement any CMS at the beginning for simpler sites (believing in the client) and offer to create CMS only if they start to ask for edits and then charge for the creation of CMS?

3) Or do you prefer to make an agreement with the clients on initial shipping about charging them for managing the site for X period of time, guaranteeing yourself the job, and some extra income in the long-term?
