+1 on WordPress
WP is a full blown CMS. It’s very versatile and you can achieve a lot with just the core. Additionally the Gutenberg Editor is the definitive editor for building content-pages.
A few month ago I tried to find a CMS as feature-complete as WP. However, I wasn’t able to find any good alternatives.
I also asked on another forum and summed up my favorite WP features:
- Extendable admin area
- Custom post types
- Single- and archive-pages/-routes
- Taxonomy aka categories and tags
- Dynamic meta data (especially with ACF)
- Solid page editor for content
- Action-/Filter-capabilities
- Shortcodes
- Open Source
- Very compatible upgrade philosophy
- Media Library including automatic image scaling
- User Login
- API Support with custom routes
However, you need to know, that WP is higher settled than frameworks like Laravel. Especially data-management gets tedious on bigger instances. Just have a look at the DB schema and you will see, what I mean.
On our company we solved this issue by integrating Illuminate/Database btw.
- honopu 5y agoI haven’t used it in years but concrete5 was awesome for this.
- whylo 5y agoYeah, I keep coming back to Concrete5 (now Concrete CMS). We don't often do CMS-based projects but when we do I test out all the big names and Concrete wins out every time. It had a block-based page editor years before Wordpress introduced Gutenberg and theming has always been pretty straightforward.
