    Question. Why did you chose Kirkby over Wordpress?

      1. Kirby doesn't use database. Everything stored in the filesytem.
      2. Installation and integration to your website is far easier.
      3. Less code

          Yeah but if you're developing for someone, charge it separately. Let's say you work for $30 for an hour, no one will consider $17 license fee much.

          Also you can use demo version for your personal development. Kirby shows a warning on panel homepage if you deploy it to a URL (i.e. www.johndoe.com).

      To reiterate / add on to Cihad's Answer:

      1. No database means simply dragging and dropping folder to move your entire project as well as much easier version control.
      2. Its a pretty barebones CMS giving you only what you need, and as your project grows more complex, (shopping cart, blogging, etc.) you can add more plugins.
      3. Less code means much less bloat and much faster load times.
