My clients love Wagtail. The 'streamfields' feature makes it really easy to offer editors plenty of flexibility without offering them the opportunity to butcher the site.

The development experience means I love it too. I never did find a simple Wordpress workflow for managing staging and live sites in git. With Wagtail/Django keeping the configuration in code, a git workflow works.

Edit: Apologies if you were actually asking about a solution to allow non-technical people to create a site, rather than manage it.

For non-technical people, Wordpress is a mess as it relies on clumsy plugins for WISIWIGish editing. From my research, it seems like there are three top CMS for non-techies: Squarespace, Wix and Weebly. I compared Wix and Squarespace primarily and went with Wix because Squarespace has no backup/restore capability. I'd consider backup to be essential for non tech users.

Hire someone who is technical? Most people don’t install the electrical or plumbing on their house, why are they trying to make a website?
