+1 for ProcessWire. I am not doing freelance dev anymore but for the small set of sites I still maintain I love doing updates for the ProcessWire installs and dread it with every other project. Anyone shopping for a Wordpress alternative should definitely check out https://processwire.com/

> Are there any graphical SSGs that non-technical users could run locally to generate a site and upload it to their web host?
https://getpublii.com is amazing and it's strange it doesn't get more attention.

I haven't used it since forever ago, but Lektor [0] is this weird in between. You need to be able to pip install and run `lektor serve` in the terminal but most else is done in the browser.

pages-gem
A simple Ruby Gem to bootstrap dependencies for setting up and maintaining a local Jekyll environment in sync with GitHub Pages
If one is looking for a simple/personal blog and wants to write in plain-text Markdown, one should consider Jekyll on GitHub Pages[1]. The beauty is that one does not need to worry about setting up Jekyll on the local machine. Just write and push to Github. If one wants to skip that, just go to GitHub and write there; a version of VSCode is built in there.
This also allows one to carry (take out) their content anywhere on any platform that supports plain text (MarkDown). Browsers can also just render plain-text as it, so if you just drag-drop them on a server, it should render as your website.
I have a pretty large personal site[2], and I hate Jekyll because it takes too long to compile locally, but I’m on it because I don’t let it interfere with my writing.
As for a WordPress replacement/alternative, it is going to be pretty hard to find something as prolific and click-clacky easy as WordPress to start off. It has like two decades of the mother of all kitchen sink built-in for anyone to jump in and rummage something out it.

I think yours is the candidate for Pandoc[1] or something like Soupault[2]. But you will be doing the HTML/CSS writing yourself.

Jekyll is perfectly fine even for non blog sites. I organise a yearly event (https://lsg.go.art.pl/english) and made its website with Jekyll (https://github.com/tasuki/lsg). Absolutely no blog involved.
Middleman is nice if you need something more flexible than what Jekyll can offer.

Ghost has no ACF apparently (https://forum.ghost.org/t/custom-fields-for-posts/1124/46 and (https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/9020) and Astro is too custom as of now and I don't want another Gatsby (too short-lived).
