The complicated futility of WordPress

I use lektor, it has a preview server with a editor, works for multilanguage sites, themes are easily extended/modified etc.

You basically run "lektor serve" edit your site locally in the backend and then once you are done you click "publish" in the backend and it copies the site to the webserver via scp (provided you have the ssh credentials).

Simple and effective. For anything more sophisticated I use grav CMS

I love GravCMS. I transitioned to Grav from Drupal right as D8 was coming out for my personal projects. Not having to worry about a db was so nice

I used to use Grav. If you want similar more mature and “zen” try Kirby CMS. I am not afiliated but ive been loving it for years. It’s commercial product but i think of it as high-end Grav. More polished and with better admin interface. Actually since Kirby is older i believe Grav was inspired by it a lot.
