Recently, I’ve come to appreciate Kirby (https://getkirby.com/). It’s commercial but reasonably priced. Clean, powerful and relaxed with updates.

As someone with probably 30+ sites built with Kirby I’d agree that it’s better than WP in many ways but it’s very developers oriented and it’s not really a replacement for WP for the average user.

And when I say developers oriented I mean it in a good way.

Entirely agree with that assessment. All my clients love the Kirby backend and as a developer it’s a pleasure to work with the system.

Documentation for first-time users could be better though. The YAML page structure took some time to wrap my head around. Also, as it’s flat-file, backups are trivial – just copy the folder or commit everything to a VCS.

I can second that. Customers really love the very simple and clean UI and I love the Developer experience :-)

But yes it would not be a replacement for WordPress if you want to click together a site with themes and plugins
