Well if the site is not complex then something like Grav these days is much better IMHO

I've been eyeing Grav for a while. It does look very interesting. ANy guesses as to pros and cons vs. WordPress? Beyond the obvious flat file vs database differences...

Ever since discovering Wiki.js, I like the idea of using git for versioning backups and deployments.

You can automate backups of the MariaDB, though. Not all that much different. Lighter, on big loads. GIT is actually a very heavy process. Great for tiny things, but bad for big ones.

Wordpress

Pros:
Easy to setup
Lot's of online support and pre-built customization
Can be singular focused or multi focused site

Cons:
Target of hackers
Updates of individual plugins or add ins may be required

Ghost

Pros:
1 Click install
Fast and Focused blog
Simple

Cons:
Less troubleshooting is available since it is less common
Much less 3rd party customization.
