When Healthcare.gov was first built, before the "enroll in insurance" feature launched and failed, it was a static site managed by a Github-based editor called Prose.io.

I have not used prose.io, but the company that built it, Development Seed, is strong. You might have heard of one of their other projects: Mapbox.

I have no idea if prose.io is being currently maintained. Development Seed was in the middle of transitioning to doing Mapbox full time, and Healthcare.gov was their "one last" consulting project. By all accounts their work on the static part of the site was great, but was totally overshadowed by the failure of the enrollment feature.
