I currently have a Wordpress site with a very esoteric design which is very image heavy.

Background is created with 4 images (and controlled by css to suit multiple devices).

See attached image.

Each page has a large image of a TV sitting on a table. There are several versions of this image to suit various devices.

The key feature is that all content fits into the TV screen.

I am intending to create an HTML version of this site using AMP HTML standards
https://www.ampproject.org/docs/get_sta ... t-amp.html

If you are not familiar with AMP HTML just think of it as Pure HTML with fixed pages sizes and image sizes to suit different screen widths pre-defined in the CSS (Rather than using traditional responsive techniques, which need a lot of re-sizing on small screens).

Content of the pages is 3 types:
- Youtube or Vimeo video
- Tiled images or single image
- Images with wrapped text

I presume the best solution is to create an iFrame that is the exact size of the TV screen and enter the Couch CMS code into the iframe.

Is Couch CMS a good solution to allow not technical users to edit text and add and edit images and youtube / vimeo URL's

One other desired feature. I would like to embed Facebook posts from a specific page and allow users to comment (using their logged in FB username) - preferably while staying inside the site. Any suggestions for implementing this would be appreciated. I do understand I will need to create a FB app. maybe there is some PHP plugin that would help.

Or is there a more appropriate alternative I should be looking at.

Thanks for reading

Bump - Any comments?
Hi @colink :)

I can only say that you begin with a completely static design.
If you can manually change the video/text etc. in that static design and the change translates well on screen, you can rest assured that using Couch to make the same changes will work equally well.

The USP of Couch is that it does not change a byte of your design except for the parts that you have explicitly declared as editable.

Thanks for your input. I like the idea of getting the site perfect with just HTML and CSS then add the Couch Content
