The experience of changing web host is a good reminder of why normal people just post to Medium, Facebook or some other system they have no ownership or control over. If we want people to own their web presence and content, we need better software.
I've tested way too many CMSs, static site generators and web design applications. I typically start by trying to put together a simple page with an <h1> heading, a few <p> paragraphs, and a <ul> bulleted list. It's amazing how many alleged web publishing tools fail this basic test — even ones that want a $79 licensing fee. (I'm looking at you, RapidWeaver.)
Anyway, if your web site doesn't run to many thousands of pages, my recommendation is Publii. <https://getpublii.com>. It's the only thing I've found that's at least as usable as WordPress, works with commodity hosting, and also generates good HTML, CSS and images. It's free and open source, GPL licensed. #Publii#WebHosting#WordPress#CMS#Web0
