interesting, we went from classic CMS to Jekyll, then Hugo, then Astro and finally built our own CMS - for larger sets of content and sites. Fiddling with custom DSLs, templates, weird builds and tricks ... was just way too time consuming - unthinkable my wife would ever touch it or write an article in there :)

Have a look at https://service.polymech.info/user/cgo/pages/poolypress-cms, agentic CMS, translates, creates and manages articles with a few prompts, widget aware.

Widgets as gallery, filebrowser, Mardkown, images, hero-banner ... are useful in many ways, easier authoring but also rendering a page as email, PDF. You can give LLMs skills on how to use those, eg: "create amazon product layout for all my products" (requires of course extra tools for content introspection and manipulation), seems to work pretty good.
