So… A Developer Sent You Here?

"Static text" refers to the parts of a website that don't change automatically and aren't managed by your CMS. Things like "Sign Up" buttons, error messages, or titles. It's pretty straightforward for any dev.

But even small text changes can be a hassle. Each text tweak means locating the right project, digging into the code, making the change, testing, and deploying it. It can become disruptive when non-developers (like you, perhaps) frequently request tiny updates.

Here's where Stringtale works its magic: it allows you, or anyone on the team, to update static text directly without needing a developer. It's like being able to change that “Sign Up Now!” button to “Join Us!” right in the project environment. Stringtale sends the updates to developers through their preferred workflow, avoiding endless back-and-forth and minimizing the risk of code errors.

With Stringtale, anyone with the correct permissions can edit text directly on the test/staging site. It's even easier than using your CMS. There is no need for any technical skills.

After you make the change, Stringtale wraps it into a tidy "merge request" (developer-speak for “please approve this change”). The developer does a quick review, and voilà, your edit goes live.

That's the simplicity of Stringtale. It's a solution to a common but overlooked problem. While static text updates might not be the most exciting part of web development, they still need to get done. So why not let your devs focus on the actual coding while you, or any other non-developer on your team, edit the text?
