I can’t believe I’m this far in and I have not mentioned my current CMS, @craftcms.com! It’s really extensible. I have used it for 6.5 years. I kinda run it headless today, with Eleventy, but it has a very capable theming system!

Switched from WordPress to Craft CMS just over a year ago. Steep learning curve at times, but no regrets. Wrote up some of the best resources that helped me get started—hope it’s useful to other newbies too!
