If you’re not against PHP and hosting PHP code, as mentioned in the OP my go-to tool would be Kirby. The mix of static content and a powerful content API is the sweet spot for me, when I don’t absolutely need static HTML. It does require a paid licence though (note: I’m not affiliated with Kirby or its developers).

I'm just looking through now. It does look pretty good. I'll have to play with it and see if it falls in the right spot between 'I'm too lazy, just point and click' and wanting something lighter-weight and easier to reason about.
