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!

If you're doing static sites, then traffic shouldn't be a concern.

I host two sites that each get more than 2 million hits a month, and I run them from a $0.10 cent Scaleway server.

Cloudflare in front of the sites takes most of the load.

You're overpaying 😁

Cloudflare static web hosting, including TLS/SSL, DDOS protection, WAF, and AI scraper protection, are all free: https://softwareonbudget.com/blog/how-to-host-static-website-for-free-with-cloudflare-pages/

And if you connect it to github repo, it auto-updates on push to main.

No connection. Just a happy user and a fan.

There are a lot of backend processes for those sites which need a server, so that wouldn't work, but thank you regardless.
