CouchCMS caters to precisely this use-case; works by getting retro-fitted into existing static HTML/CSS designs.

Take a look at Couch CMS. You install it on your server like you would Wordpress, add code snippets to your existing HTML, and you have a functioning CMS.

Show HN: Primo – a visual CMS with Svelte blocks, a code editor, and SSG
Not sure if this is what you’re after but give https://getkirby.com/ a try

Grav is a modern open-source flat-file CMS
Personally think https://getkirby.com is the entry to beat but I guess it’s just because I’m used to it and it works incredibly well for my use case.
- What technology do you use to build websites these days?

WP20 and Audrey Scholars – Matt Mullenweg
I guess it depends what you need to build. I used to use Wordpress for all my personal and client projects but I then moved to Kirby[0] and I couldn’t be happier.
But I think it highly depends on what kind of projects you work on.

Ask HN: How do I make a website in 2023?
I can recommend Kirby (https://getkirby.com/), a flat file PHP CMS. It’s fast, has a panel to update data and can be hosted on any basically any PHP host. Just use the quite simple PHP-templates and add CSS & JS like you already know how to do. No need to complicate things.

Go with PHP
PHP has a lot of top tier CMSes. IMHO bunch of them are even better than Statamic. Craft CMS (https://craftcms.com/) is a lot more mature database based CMS. Kirby (https://getkirby.com/) is better at flat-file and has a lot better admin interface. Twill (https://twillcms.com/) is better integrated in Laravel and is fully open-source. Statamic mostly feels like it's sitting besides Laravel and they call themselves Laravel based for marketing.
- Headless CMS with the best documentation for vue/nuxt.js

Is a custom CMS a bad idea?
If this sounds like what you need, take a look at https://getkirby.com/ It's the tool of choice for me for smaller-medium things, it's also simple to set up and to maintain.

best php-based cms/tech choice
Another area of CMS Systems are Flat File System based CMS which I did last time not hear a lot around but there was a lot of noice in the past from Kirby CMS and Grav CMS. Instead of a database they store all there data inside files and I mostly saw more for simpler website build with it where not specific security releated user context based content where used.
