Write the way you talk to your clients
cerise's editor fits on one line: you type, it formats. No menus to dig through between two appointments.

At the chair, you never hesitate. You explain a treatment in three sentences, you answer the same question for the hundredth time with a smile, and your client leaves knowing exactly what to expect. Then you open a website editor and everything gets complicated: blocks, columns, settings, an "Update" button that updates nothing.
cerise's editor starts from the other end. You write, it formats.
Shortcuts you already know
There is nothing to learn. The moves are the ones of a slightly careful text message:
- Type
##at the start of a line: it becomes a subheading. - Type
-: you start a list. - Type
>: you quote a client (with her permission). Ctrl+Bmakes text bold,Ctrl+Imakes it italic.
The text stays clean. There is no colour to pick and no font size to set: the page takes care of that, the same way on every post.
One page, one idea
A good salon post answers one question. "How long does a set take?" "What should I bring?" "Why this price?" Write the question as the title and answer it below, the way you would out loud. If a second question comes up, it deserves its own post.
And if you want to see the code?
One button switches the editor to source mode. There you see the raw text, in markdown: hashes for headings, dashes for lists, asterisks for bold. It is the same text, written another way. You can switch back and forth without losing anything.
