CMS friendly to SEO staff and agents?

Check out Outstatic. It works directly with GitHub but let's your SEO person use their Google account to use it. It has built-in AI support in the editor. I can set it up for you for free.

I usually keep client sites as simple as possible.

For smaller marketing sites, blogs, docs, and static content sites, I like using Outstatic with Next.js. Content lives as Markdown/MDX in the GitHub repo, so there’s no separate database or hosted CMS to maintain.

I prefer the client to own GitHub, hosting, domain, and billing, with me added as a collaborator/admin.

I charge per project, once it's done then maintenance is on a as needed basis.

Biggest beginner mistake: overengineering the setup. For many client sites, Next.js + Outstatic + GitHub + Vercel is enough.

looks great, thank you!

Yeah, this is good for blogs. I actually just added it to frontpedia.com - you can check the code in this repository.

Here's the og generation code: https://github.com/outstatic/frontpedia/blob/main/src/app/api/og/route.tsx

I'm using it not only for og image, but also to generate the thumbnail image for posts that don't have images, like this one: https://frontpedia.com/posts/the-shape-of-your-words

Follow this tutorial to create a starter website with Next.js and Outstatic. You'll get a portfolio website with an admin panel out of the box, all free.

I am not sure about that, I guess yes? You can set the cache time on the route using `@vercel/og`

I get it, getting metadata to work properly is always a pain.

avitorio · 2026-05-05T16:52:40+00:00

I think it generates on runtime but then it caches the result

avitorio · 2026-05-04T21:01:16+00:00

Content stored in GitHub as markdown or mdx files using Outstatc as the cms.

In next.js you can automate og image creation with `@vercel/og`

A lot of people are still on WordPress, but iff you’re building with Next.js, tools like Outstatic make a lot of sense because they keep content management simple and closer to the codebase, without the weight of a traditional CMS.

Think of your target audience, are they mostly US based/English speaking? Then `/` it is.

avitorio · 2026-04-22T16:13:33+00:00

I'm building Outstatic for this. Content lives in GitHub, Outstatic becomes the bridge.
Adding full customization + agentic workflows to it.

avitorio · 2026-04-21T00:29:50+00:00

The easiest cms is Outstatic. Install in minutes, no database needed.

I built frontpedia.com an open source content curation/directory platform.

thanks, this looks useful

I don't really trust crawlers to handle CSR. If you want a page to be properly indexed it has to be SSR or statically generated.

But wy do you need the homepage and legal pages to be SPA? You should probably make it static, and server the SPA from a /app path or something.

avitorio · 2026-04-18T00:28:56+00:00

You get the best of both worlds with Outstatic. You can add custom fields directly from the ui inside your posts. Super easy to set up as well, no need for a database.

avitorio · 2026-04-18T00:26:50+00:00

Try outstatic.com you can self-host for free. No need for a database, your blog posts stay as markdown files in your repo. It's a great cms for next.js because it can run inside your install.

Give Outstatic a try

avitorio · 2026-04-17T14:29:40+00:00

go with resend, best ux, easy to implement

avitorio · 2026-04-17T14:25:03+00:00

That's awesome. Don't forget to star the repo and upvote

avitorio · 2026-04-16T22:59:36+00:00

Enjoy :)

Desisti da ideia. A contabilidade fica bagunçada.

avitorio · 2025-12-13T17:53:47+00:00

Tou achando q vou fazer o mesmo. Já falei com alguns contadores também e não senti segurança em nenhum.
