Publii – CMS with SSG

My mom publishes a tiny site via WordPress. Some of the plugins and themes she relies upon are no longer maintained. I was researching Publii yesterday, wondering if it could be a better alternative. She already exports a static version of the WordPress site using a Simply Static plugin. Publii also has a WordPress import feature. Those two facts combined with that seems to be a friendly UI makes it worth trying out.

I run a few WordPress sites, two very small, one pretty large, and I've got to say WordPress and the maturity there is truly incredible. I used the Simply Static plugin on one of the sites and it is great. The other sites are way too dynamic however. I can't even use much caching because of that, so performance is a constant battle.

The big site is getting ported to Elixir/Phoenix in the next year or so, but it will be tough to match feature parity for the content producer(s), who are very non-technical in nature.

You can take a look at https://motif.land too

I took a look and I was not impressed. Assuming that the home page was built with Motif, the font was far too small. Even after increasing the size 3 times the font was still too small for my preference. There is no information on the home page about cost, and "requesting access" requires that you provide 10 pieces of information. I may be wrong, but my thought when I saw that was that this is an information harvesting site.
