[trough]

I can wholeheartedly vouch for Grav. It’s absurdly fast, easy to deploy and even easier to template for thanks to Twig. When I was still freelancing and a project was beyond the scope of htmlcssjs, Grav CMS became my tool of choice. Their admin plug-in makes for a easy to use backend GUI and it’s configurable enough to have non-techies use it without losing sleep.

One of the newer features are the so called FlexObjects. It’s an absolutely great idea for a CMS but explaining the possibilities and technical intricacies seems moot as the documentation and Discord community are a better place to start learning. [1]

Websites built with Grav compare to SSG speeds while maintaining a different ease of use and much less time invest to roll out.

And sticking to the topic: being completely flat-file centric, those websites are a breeze to maintain and according to my albeit limited experience also a bit sturdier security wise.
