Best tool for creating a basic business website (piefed.social)

I'm starting a NonProfit Fediverse powered business called BT Free. I was thinking of making my homepage built on Ghost, but due to some of it's choices, I'm looking for something else.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a self hosted, possibly fediverse powered, software for creating a simple clean efficient business website landing page that explains who we are, what we're doing, etc. I am NOT a designer so something with templates or can hold my hand would be wildly helpful.

I was thinking maybe a static site generator maybe?

Anyone have ANY thoughts or suggestions? Remember there are no such things as bad ideas or comments!

I don't know anything about Drupal. I shall look at it. Right now to get up and running I'm thinking of just running a SSG like Pelican. Especially since the Dev is on the Fediverse. :-D

I know a silly reason to pick it, but I'm a Fedi Lover lol. :-)

Thank you for the info though. I'll definitely look more into it. And thank you so much for the very deeply detailed response! :-)

I'm a big fan of SSG for smaller project and don't think you should pick a stack based the social media preferences of developers... but if that's what you are doing, I'll see your single developer on the Fediverse and raise you an entire developer community. https://drupal.community/ ~600 accounts and ~150 MAU.

I'm more just trying to get a very quick site set up. I made a super basic page ATM. I'll revisit it later to try to make something much nicer or hire someone. Multiple folks have mentioned drupal so I'll have to give it more of a look. Thank you for the feedback. :-)
