Grav

Grav falls in the same category as other PHP scripts like Stacey, Kirby, Yellow, NoShi, or Pico, and scripts written in other programming languages like Jekyll, Hakyll, DocPad, Metalsmith, and Nikola.

Grav works in a similar fashion, using a template engine (Twig) to take content stored inside local (Markdown) files and assemble them into easy-to-host static HTML files.

On top of this simple principle, Grav's team has built a caching engine to help manage the static assets in a fast and performance-oriented manner, along with a plugins and themeing system to help developers customize their Grav-powered sites.

Since there's no database involved, this makes Grav sites easy to host, fast to backup & restore, and also easy to manage and edit at runtime.

SEO friendly URLs are also included, along with PHP CLI tools, a taxonomy system, multiple user accounts, and user roles.
