If you know Python you could check out Lektor: https://www.getlektor.com/ I has been built be Mitsuhiko, who also built Flask, Jinja2 and Werkeug. Lektor is a static content management system. You can then host your site on S3 or Netlify.

Unless you need some interaction per user, I'd recommend buying a ready theme, adding the content and uploading that to S3. Ignore WordPress and frameworks unless you really have a need for them.

Thanks - I had thought of something like that. What do you mean though by buying a ready theme?

You mentioned learning react and some other frontend tech. If you want a quick website, ignore those too and buy some theme with a known base (bootstrap). Then change the contents only, and not what it looks like.
