Thanks for the feedback everyone. This really helps a lot. When you put things out there like this you have no idea if it makes any sense so thanks again.

Wordpress is still a great solution for many projects.

However, there are a lot of web designers who need to allow clients to edit only one or two pages of a site. They don't need to change the design or add new pages or anything else. That would freak them out.

Plus - they work with static HTML templates like Bootstrap themes or other and don't want (can't) convert it to a WP theme.

Lots of solutions for this purpose are around (CushyCMS, SurrealCMS, PageLime etc) - this is another in that vein - but there are differences to all of these.

If the right project or client came up then this would work really well.

Or you could roll your own with Octopress/Jekyll.

cheers again
