We used Jekyll on a project recently and I was happy with the collaborative elements…. we used a github repo connected with forestry.io that would sftp the site to the webhost. Free github plan and free forestry plan. See more details of the process here.

I`m considering using Jekyll for some upcoming website projects… If I have non-technical clients who would like to be able to make changes to their website every now and then. Is there a recommended method for making this available on a Jekyll website?
All of the source files that Jekyll uses are hosted on my local machine… It seems like, in order for a client to make changes to the site they would need to synchronize their Jekyll installation with mine. I will keep researching and report back.
