Volt gives you WordPress's ease without its stack. Your whole site is plain Markdown files in Git -- no database, no build step, no lock-in. Write or use the visual editor, hit save, and it's live as fast static pages. One command migrates a live WordPress site: pages, posts, media, menus, and URLs kept. Batteries included: free HTTPS, sitemaps, image CDN, and contact forms with invisible spam protection (no reCAPTCHA, no third parties). Export anytime, self-host anywhere, or host from $0.
How does the one-command WordPress migration handle custom plugins or themes that aren't part of the default setup?
How does the one-command migration handle custom WordPress plugins or shortcodes — do they get converted or just stripped out?
How does the one-command WordPress migration handle custom post types or ACF fields, or is it strictly limited to standard pages, posts, and media?
Finally someone said it. WordPress made sense in 2008 but keeping a whole PHP stack alive for a simple blog has felt absurd for years. The one command WordPress migration is the part that actually sold me, because porting years of content is usually where these tools fall apart.
Migrated a small WordPress blog to test it and was surprised how clean the markdown workflow feels. The one-command import kept all my permalinks intact, which saved me from a painful redirect job.
Finally a WordPress alternative that doesn't make me dread updates. The git based markdown workflow feels right and migrating my old site with one command actually worked without breaking my URLs.
