What is a modern alternative to WordPress?


Is there a much better way to replace the WordPress environment with a modern development approach? Assume I know nothing except WordPress.

I would say WordPress is probably what You want to use. Assuming You know nothing but that, what You want to search for is Content Management System, sometimes acronyms are used so often the meanings of them get lost. (Especially on technical subjects). So yes there are many other CMS out there but WordPress is still very popular.

Really depends on how much Wordpress you know. If you're just using it as a CMS, then you should probably stick with it.

If you're familiar with PHP and JS, there are other CMS you could switch to. Though you'll not find the same ecosystem of plugins and tooling.

I remember https://boltcms.io/ being a good alternative in some ways, but like SubGenius already mentioned, it does not have the same selection of plugins or themes as WordPress.

I really like sailsjs. It’s based on nodejs and express js . Framework is highly configurable. It does have a small learning curve

Have you considered a static site generator?
