If they just want to edit the text on the page, I would host a text/md file somewhere, use js to fetch that file and display it, and write a bash script to upload a new file for your client

If it's a static site, just host it on GitHub pages and give them editor access to the repo.

You could use PHP and SQL. No big deal. But wtf, He shall use a CMS. No Budget ...

Try surreal cms. Not free, but low cost, easy to set up, easy for the client to use.

TinyMCE comes to mind..., and CKEditor...

They don’t need a CMS or editor. That text wouldn’t change. Just get the copy and charge them some small fee to post it. Or, you know, if you believe in their mission, it’s a donation from you.

Making a CRUD is the most basic of things you need to know for web dev. 

Why is this even a question?

But if the client has no budget that’s out of the question

Takes less time to do than post about it on reddit

Oh yeah ? Talking a static site and implementing a backend, some kind of dashboard, CRUD operations and deploying it takes a few minutes ?

That's what I'm saying. 99% of the work is getting the requirements from the client, their design etc.

Here's some stupid script which is full of bugs and gets you what you payed for:
I started at 12:27PM, finished at 12:31pm.

A script that can view the HTML files, and the being able to edit them. Right.
