Ask HN: Cms recommendations for typical small-scale websites?
- Open-source license
- Widely used programming language
- Good/reasonable code quality (rules out wordpress)
- Reasonably lightweight (rules out drupal8)
- Custom content-types / page-types / entities without 3rd party libraries
- A backend with amazing UX usable for non-tech staff
- Customizable backend users + roles/permissions
- Well documented and thought-through extension architecture
- An api for form creation + handling
- Image handling: Configurable image styles/sizes and responsive images
- Multi-language support built-in
- Export + import of configuration/settings to files and store them in git
- Export + import of all content to files
- Server-side rendering if javascript-based
- Good performance with reasonable development effort
- Fast development cycles
- Flexible enough (with custom extensions) for 99% of small-scale websites
- Great security at every level (no dangerous file permissions needed,...)
To me this reads like a wishlist for a cms which gets out of everyone's way. But having worked profesionally for more than 10 years I have not come across anything that comes even close.
Am I missing some amazing cms's?
