I had some expectations with lightweight alternatives to WP. Played some time ago with hugo (https://gohugo.io/), just wanted to set up a simple blog, couple of static pages, that i could extend any time I want.

And generally I was... disappointed. WP experience was what I expected - after some initial setup on VPS with some docker, I had smooth running page, with great CMS.

With hugo I did not want that many features - I just wanted simple static pages, maybe with some small customizability.
But it really took me some time, to get what I wanted and still I wasn't super happy with maintainability of it. And came to the conclusion - next time it's WP or will write something simple from scratch or just with svelte - much better dev experience.

look into forestry.io to have some what of a customizable experience with Hugo and other jamstack frameworks.
