Flat CMS’s
Iv’e come across with these and I found them interesting for small projects, why? They don’t have a DB , are super fast and require less maintenance than WordPress for example.
You might be wondering , how does a CMS without DB works, well.. As a CMS? They use a folder hierarchy to achieve that, it might be tricky at first, but the only requirement you gotta have is to learn a bit of Markdown, the rest like images and so, you just have to drag it to the folder.
PicoCMS
Fast, with lots of plugins , based on Twig and Markdown , its kind of similiar to Grav.
WonderCMS
The lightest of all CMS acording to them , only 8kB.
Grav
Similiar to PicoCMS but it seems a little more complete, with Starter Themes, Plugins and enough documentation to get you started.
Some random thing’s I’ve come across.
