A simple Blog website with no frills. Design is friendly, minimalist, fast, and easy to navigate ... Written in Kirby and custom Milligram CSS, I find it very easy to manage.
Kirby comes with a great admin panel that can be customized to your heart's delight. It's easy to create and update content (pages, articles, images, etc). The panel works really well on Ipads too, so I can take pic(s), create an article, insert the pic(s), fill out article content, meta info, etc - review and publish when ready. I use an IPad to create and publish on the go while I am out in about 5 minutes ... fun!

Kirby
I have used many CMS systems; mostly Wordpress, but also Gravity (good), Joomla (ok) ...
Kirby is a well designed flat file cms.
Milligram
Milligram is small and fast and great as a base css framework. This is the way I will go from now on, most likely.
These days, I create websites that are fast, small, flat, simple, Mobile first (especially mobile phone displays) It is important to ensure content is displayed on any phone in a simple, friendly, and easy to navigate (single page format) manner, yet complete on a desktop. (50% percent of website consumption is on a desktop or phone).
