    Ghost is one of the best alternatives for WordPress. But I just want to know that why you are looking for WordPress alternatives, whether WordPress is one of the best and easy to manage platform.

    I'd be looking at what you need to do, rather than simply looking for an alternative.

    And then there's other issues like your ability to write plugins (if they're needed), ability to edit themes, availability of themes etc. Until you have the project spec it's impossible to come up with alternatives.

    It depends on what you want to do of course, but for blogging we like Summerntoe quite a lot.

    @sarahk, from my understanding it's not a cms. It's a JS library.

    A few years ago, Joomla and Drupal were considered WP alternatives, but WP advanced in leaps and bounds and has an amazing variety of plugins and themes.
    Considering it's free, you need a very good reason to go elsewhere.

    Wordpress is very popular because it's free, but telling the truth, i can't recommend you to use such platforms as wordpress. There are a lot of viruses and spam bots for such popular engines and free web-sites builder. You can find a lot of information in the Internet about their vulnerability. It's better to employ professionals, who designed blog special for you. I can recommend you Industrialax, they are really good at web-design, this company builds not only custom software tools to automate all types of businesses, but also creates websites https://industrialax.com

    Ghost is not an alternative for WordPress... for starters it runs on a completely different platform and is very focused on blogging.

    WordPress is now a full featured CMS.

    If i'm looking for WordPress alts i'll generally go for:
    https://bolt.cm/
    https://anchorcms.com/

    To be fair to @Hybirid we don't know if @aafi needs a blogging platform or a cms.

    Thats true :) We can only really compare like for like so I wouldn't be able to recommend Ghost.

    I love Ghost and think it is one of the best platforms for writing but can't really be put in the same boat as WP.
