FC0-U71 Practice Question: A small business owner wants to create a simple…
A small business owner wants to create a simple website to display business hours and contact information. The owner has no programming experience and needs to quickly update the content without learning code. A family member suggests using a content management system (CMS) like WordPress. Another suggests using a plain HTML file and editing it manually. The owner is concerned about both ease of use and security. Which solution best addresses the owner's needs while minimizing technical complexity?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is equating simplicity with security, leading candidates to choose a plain HTML file, but the question emphasizes ease of use for a non-technical user, which points to a CMS despite potential security concerns that can be managed.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a CMS because it provides a graphical interface for content updates.
A CMS like WordPress provides a graphical user interface that allows non-technical users to easily update content such as business hours and contact information without writing code. It also offers security features and plugins to help mitigate risks, addressing the owner's concern about security while minimizing technical complexity. This makes it the best solution for the owner's needs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use a CMS because it provides a graphical interface for content updates.
Why this is correct
A CMS supplies a graphical administrative interface, letting the non-programming owner edit hours and contact details without touching code, satisfying the ease-of-use constraint. WordPress also handles updates and security patching centrally, reducing the manual HTML editing burden the owner wanted to avoid.
- ✗
Hire a developer to create a custom application.
Why it's wrong here
A custom application requires ongoing developer involvement for every content change, defeating the owner's need to update hours and contact details without coding. Custom development suits bespoke functionality or integration that off-the-shelf software cannot deliver, not a static informational site.
- ✗
Use a plain HTML file because it does not require a database.
Why it's wrong here
Hand-editing HTML gives no browser-based editor, so each content change requires manual markup edits and risks breaking the page. It suits a single fixed page rarely changed; the owner needs a CMS interface that updates content without touching code.
- ✗
Use a static site generator but requires command line knowledge.
Why it's wrong here
A static site generator still demands command-line tooling, Markdown authoring and rebuilds, which the owner cannot manage without programming experience. It suits developers wanting version-controlled, fast static output; this scenario needs a browser-based editor with no local toolchain.
