Wagtail CMS

Favoriting this for any possible WP project in the future, thanks. Would want to take a closer look to see how it compares to stuff like Roots’ Sage project. I’m glad I’ve been able to develop on https://wagtail.org/ for the past few years though. Usually such a pleasure to work with.

Elementor

Fwiw at a previous job we found that using blog vault backup gave us reasonable backups - a way to migrate setups (restore to new host) and workable (if a little clunky) staging environments: https://blogvault.net/ In addition: https://elementor.com/ Helped by providing a more reasonable editing experience (for a website - not "just" a blog). Both of these are paid. I think I would have preferred a managed host that provided backup and staging - but that would probably cost a little more (cash, fewer hours) - than basic php+mysql web host. Other than those two - I think we got rid of all third party plug-ins, except for a theme or two (different theme for different sites). Made wp just about manageable. Personally I still can't stand the wysiwyg "works 90% 80% of the time) editor - but then the marketing people were responsible for updates - and with wp they could do it themselves.

Fresh Framework

Best of luck on your cms - I must admit I think the future lies with something like deno/fresh (https://fresh.deno.dev) or astro (https://astro.build) along with cdn/edge computing. > Recently I spun up a site for a client and the plug-ins cost over $1000 just to get them going. I think that's the wrong way around - you/your client <i>could</i> buy stuff costing a thousand dollars because of the huge wp ecosystem (however dysfunctional it may be - I once looked briefly at how to write and sell a wp theme - and quickly moved on to different pursuits). Now, how much <i>value</i> did you get from that? That's one of the big draws of wp. Im sure your new system will cover 80% of that - but what about the themes and plug-ins someone <i>else</i> needs?
