You might not need a static site generator for a single page website. Why not simply author it directly in HTML and CSS? It might actually be faster (and simpler) to code by hand.

Here are two dummy test pages I made a while ago to see if I could create a fast-loading, fairly lengthy text page for slow mobile connections.

There is no table of contents, but you could add that as a simple list of links to the top of the page.

Version A (no font loading): http://interfacesketch.com/test/energy-book-synopsis-a.html

Version B (loads custom fonts - an extra 40kb approx): http://interfacesketch.com/test/energy-book-synopsis-b.html
