I'm looking to build a small website that will include both basic static pages and more dynamic features, like a news feed. I have experience with CouchCMS and I've really appreciated its functionality—particularly the ability to start with a design and then define editable regions, which allows for a fully customizable dashboard tailored to the needs of the site maintainer. However, I feel that CouchCMS could use some improvement, so I'm curious if there are any other content management systems out there that offer a similar approach or workflow?

I found Vvveb CMS to be somewhat similar to CouchCMS. Instead of defining editable regions, you work with attributes like `data-v-post-name` for dynamic content. It allows for a somewhat structured layout with your content. Here’s a snippet for context!
You might want to look into Wagtail. It's a Django-based CMS that's quite user-friendly and integrates seamlessly with the whole Django ecosystem. Plus, it has a customizable admin area which could be what you're looking for!
Wagtail does seem interesting! Though it does require a bit of JS knowledge for customization, which is something I noticed with CouchCMS too.
Have you checked out ProcessWire? It’s a pretty flexible CMS that many developers love. It might be worth considering for your project!
ProcessWire sounds great! I’ve heard a lot of good things about it.
This attribute-based approach is fascinating! I wonder if it’s too limiting in terms of page structure, though?
