Absolutely call on me. The other big challenge is content types. Non-profits (and goverment) are different from other businesses in that their service is providing information. From the get go, I know I’ll need an event content type, which leads to an upcoming events feed. They’ll need some sort of resource content type that will contain uploads and they’re not gonna scale those images/minify PDFs so DAM and automatic image formatting/scaling is a must. Visual builders handle DAM well but not content types and especially no bespoke CMS to handle them. This is where cloudcannon has their advantage and what I’m hoping to create.

That’s a really excellent idea. The people demand it!
@Ed_Cupaioli I agree with the guy who recommends Astro. It checks all your boxes. You barely need to know any JS to get started with it – all you need is to understand components, imports, and layouts and you’re off to the races… and all that stuff is pretty intuitive if you’ve ever even glanced at React.

Yup, I actually built a site with Gatsby before and I learned react to get going.
I’m rounding the bases on my 11ty build but I’m already seeing those build times go up like they did with my jekyll sites. Non-profit/government sites are made up of multiple content types (eg events) and each content type can have hundreds of pages per so this site needs to build incrementally so they’re not paying tons of money on build-time.
Can Astro build incrementally? Jekyll had an incremental option but it was a bit buggy.

I see a case for Hugo… I have started with Jekyll in 2015 and switched to Hugo in 2021.
No regrets. No build times. Everyhing gets PUBLISHED (not just built) in less than a second. Really big websites take 2 seconds.
