A simple CMS for a website?

Question

CMS

Good afternoon!
Before that, I made websites on various CMS - Wordpress, OpenCart and others.
Over time, I realized that I use a maximum of 10% of the functionality and there are troubles with a stretch of design and functionality.
It is much easier to do everything in pure HTML + JS.
But even here there are some troubles, a bunch of HTML files, problems with making changes, etc.
Is there any simple CMS, without unnecessary functionality, but with the ability to easily implement your design and functionality, with a template engine on board and good documentation?

Perhaps you do not mean CMS, but the so-called. "static site generator"
For example
https://gohugo.io/
The principles are as follows:
Separately create the text of the pages. In separate plain text files.
Separately create the template(s).
Hugo - takes all this, digests it, and delivers ready-made html / css / js, which are ready for uploading to the site (or even Hugo himself can immediately upload to the site).
In other words, you don't have to suffer by introducing layout code into each page. Crossing content and appearance is handled by the static site generator.
The site does not require a database.
Everything is pre-generated.
Correcting the site online is not provided (although it is possible, just regenerate on the fly, but as a rule, this is not practiced with a static site generator).
If you need dynamics on the site, they use external tools or JavaScript, since there is no backend.
For example, for comments - Disquis, for search Tipue Search www.tipue.com/search .
Another famous similar system is Jekyll

Answer 3

Мне в этом плане нравится Modx. Он не вносит своих изменений в шаблоны, можно собрать сайт на чистом ХТМЛ+ЦСС, кое-где подключить динамические блоки для вывода новостей, например. Для супер-простых сайтов её использовать комфортно. Довольно гибкий АПИ для разработки. Основы по документации изучить можно довольно быстро.
Из минусов:
1. Все шаблоны, чанки (куски шаблонов) и т.д. она хранит в БД, из-за чего использовать её в связке с гитом очень сложно. Есть свой инструмент гитифай, но он тоже работает не совсем так, как хочется.
2. Иногда обнаруживают критические уязвимости, приходится обновлять сайты на этой ЦМС. Если таких сайтов больше 5–8, то эта задача съедает один рабочий день разработчика. В вордпрессе эта проблема решается автоматическими обновлениями, в модх такого нет.
