SQLite is not a toy database

You don't even need SQLite for that. Something like PicoCMS with markdown files is more than enough. If you want a fronted for the owner, that's another story, but if you're the one mantaining the sites, WordPress is an overkill 99% of the time.

Pleasantly surprised to hear PicoCMS mentioned here, since it's not typically the most common PHP markdown CMS of choice folks like to mention.

I was a casual developer (i.e. not for work, just for personal) deep into the PicoCMS ecosystem for a couple years, a few years ago. I both started a site and helped a family convert an old static site to PicoCMS and really had no complaints. Re: frontend for the owner, I started with Pico Admin and made a bunch of modifications to it (including an image uploader) and the non-tech owner has no complaints and it's been working well since.

Nowadays for my own blog I'm into the whole SSG/JAM trend, but I'd still run a PicoCMS site any time, if the use case is right.

I've been reviewing CMSs for some time, and PicoCMS is the best in terms of simplicity, hands-off and easiness.
