Hi,

I’ve selfhosted Grav for two years going to three, but I want to move on to something else. I am looking for a flatfile CMS. I have experimented a bit and the best I found so far is Automad, but it isn’t quite there. What alternatives can you recommend? PHP is where I am leaning.

Thanks.

Edit: Given my unclear query, I have struggled themeing. It has always been a pain and for whatever reason, documenting is somewhat unclear.

    Anything supporting an SQLite database would technically be a “flat-file” CMS… just saying. ;)

    And if you’re going to be the only content manager, why not go the SSG way with Hugo, Jekyll, etc.?

      Explored them previously, and today as part of my research, but would not work for my current situation. Hugo in the future though may be a potential move.

    Might be more helpful if you mention what you’re looking for that Grav and Automad don’t cover. There’s a lot of options out there, and you seem to be looking for something pretty specific.

        In that case, as someone else said, you may want to take a look at some non-CMS specific style frameworks like Hugo or Jekyll who have tons of these available, but it might be a bit hard to say if you’re not super familiar with markdown for templates and such.

        If you’re used to drag and drop and selectors for creating your views, may want to stick with the CMS stuff.
