Web developers evaluate CMS transitions and site architectures

Web developers are sharing personal experiences regarding the transition between different Content Management Systems (CMS) and site architectures. One developer detailed a move from Jekyll to Kirby, and subsequently to the JavaScript-based static site generator Eleventy, before eventually returning to Kirby to avoid the overhead of a PHP application with a Vue-powered backend.

Another developer discussed the shift toward static sites, noting that while they have gained popularity, they can be difficult to use for regular blogging. They advocated for flat-file CMS options like Kirby or Statamic, which offer a balance between the speed of a portable site without a database and the convenience of a modern CMS that allows for content management via mobile devices.
