I like to use Statamic for smaller sites that don't need all the power of a CMS like ExpressionEngine but still need flexibility and ease of use.
End User Benefits (clients)
- Intuitive easy to use control panel
- Responsive control panel - easily update content with your mobile device
- Fast load times - no database = faster page loads for both the front end and the control panel
- Secure - because Statamic doesn't use a database like most CMSs there is zero risk for a mysql injection attack on the site
Developer Benefits
- Multi Environment friendly - super easy to work locally and then have your client preview work on a staging site before pushing to the live site
- Version Control - no more hassles with figuring out how to sync the database. All settings are stored in YAML files - push the files and the live site reflects those changes.
- When clients update content you can easily add the content to version control by copying the markdown files locally
- Templating is simple and intuitive - there is no need to know php (I'm looking at you WordPress)
- Documentation - well written and easy to understand
- Community - Are you stuck or not sure how to approach something the community will help you out. Don't forget to check out the Slack Channel.
- A robust mature marketplace for third party addons (commercial and free): Add-on Stash.
- Commercially supported. You buy a license and the creators of Statamic provide support for you.
