Patricio Robles says, “Thanks in large part to WordPress, one of the world’s most popular open-source applications, the use of content management systems has exploded.

This has been a positive trend, enabling companies to cost-effectively build and maintain dynamic, content-rich websites that are easily updated by non-technical staff.

But is it time to reconsider content management systems (CMSes)?

Mathias Biilmann Christensen, the founder and CEO of Netlify, a static website hosting platform, believes so and suggests that static website generators, which produce HTML websites that aren’t driven by a database, are “the next big thing.”

Obviously he has a vested interest in saying that, but that doesn’t mean he’s entirely wrong.

Christensen says static website generators haven’t been ready for prime time but now, “many of the constraints that made dynamic websites the best option for creating anything but the most basic online brochure“.

Is it time to trade your CMS for a static website generator?
