We have implemented website assignments with the Drupal CMS for more than 5 years with Sevendays since 2018. In the meantime, we only build websites if there are complex challenges involved.
Because we ended up more in the Laravel world for application development, we ended up at Statamic when there was a demand for a solid and user-friendly CMS.
I really like Statamic. It’s one of the most promising newer offerings in the CMS space.
That said, just about every feature needed for a project we have built within the last five years is included in Statamic CMS without the need of plugins.
The people who use it love it so much that there is a chance it could become one of the top-5 CMS systems.
