Backdrop CMS VS leaf

https://backdropcms.org was a fork of Drupal before the rewrite. It was pretty decent when I tried it (admittedly several years ago).

I see you decided on Wordpress, if you were going to use a CMS I think Drupal 7 would have been a good choice. Drupal has concept of entities and views. An entity as the name suggests is essentially a table and you can add all sorts of different fields to it. From simple text and number fields to images and fields that lookup other entities thus creating relationships between entities. Views is another construct that lets you choose how to display the entities. As a list of as a table a two possible views. Most of this can be done in Drupal 7 without writing code. I say Drupal 7 because you mentioned Wordpress. Drupal 8 and above is more of a developer framework and requires knowledge of Composer. Backdrop [0] is fork of Drupal 7.

I think some smaller biz and nonprofits jumped off to https://backdropcms.org

As a result DO community is not able to delete stuff. For example, they should delete all Drupal 7 stuff on the official website and give the lead to https://backdropcms.org/ regarding support. They should also auto archive issue that are more than a years old without activity.

Here is a link to the release history for Backdrop CMS. https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop/tags

Backdrop CMS is a fork of Drupal 7, but with lots of the improvements of Drupal 9. https://backdropcms.org/

Another important alternative is Backdrop CMS. It's essentially an updated fork of Drupal 7, so migrating is really the easiest choice. Remember, even with D8 and D9, more than 50% of Drupal sites are still on D7. https://backdropcms.org/

Will second LeafPHP, minimal, clean and very easy to work with.

I was watching a PHP Frameworks Speed Comparison in 2023 video on YouTube and noticed a framework I've never heard of before called LeafPHP doing really well.

LeafPHP is nice. Modular and easy to work with.

LeafPHP has been great to learn with. Clean and simple.

Check out version 3 of Leaf PHP framework. It comes with huge performance upgrades, simpler and more powerful code and an overall better developer experience https://leafphp.dev

Leaf 3 is now under active development under the v3.x-dev branch. A release data for v3 alpha has not yet been confirmed, but the progress on development is looking great with 21 modules already published on composer.
