Ask DN: What CMS to use instead of WordPress for simple one-pager?

+1 for Anchor CMS, but I am a bit biased. It doesn't use Twig for templating though, it's similar templating to WordPress.
Account deleted 8 years ago I think he was mixing it up with Craft CMS
Possibly yes :)

I don't think I can comfortably recommend Anchor (even though I did like it) to anyone since it hasn't been updated in, what, 2+ years? Probably less than that, but it feels like forever.
Um well the GitHub repo has been constantly active https://github.com/anchorcms/anchor-cms
Do you mean updated as in the UI hasn't changed?

Anchor CMS isn't a bad option. Although it hasn't had a new version release for quiet some time. And as far as I know, I've found a few bugs that does limit the functionality of the site that have yet to be addressed in a stable release (I run The Start FM on Anchor CMS for over a year and still haven't seen great support/community feedback.
Have you been using the forum and GitHub to report issues?
Looks like the fix has been implemented at some point, I would've thought it's made it into a stable release as well.
Give Anchor CMS a look. Uses Twig, has an admin panel for a client, but still super simple and tiny (150kb).
Alternatively I have heard of people making just a static html page that pulls text from a Google Docs file... maybe that could be of interest.
