Spress is a static site generator built with Symfony Components. The tool is versatile and uses familiar technologies such as Twig, Markdown and the Symfony console.

Bolt CMS is a lightweight CMS built with the Silex Microframework. It is well built and a great alternative for developers looking for a modern PHP system to replace WordPress, for example.

• Low learning curve
• High performance
• Unparalled security with static HTML

• Clean purpose, not trying to solve every problem

• Limitations when working with dynamic data
• Limited userbase
• Lack of basic functions people expect from a CMS (feedback forms, etc.)

• Developer availability compared to WP
• Extensibility for multilingual, etc. depends on extensions
• Limited community size
