I've been out of the loop for a couple years but have a couple simple web projects I'd like to build. What are your recommendations for getting dynamic and/or static websites up and running as quickly as possible ?

I realize this question depends on many things, eg your existing experience with whichever framework, but I'd like to hear what others are using regardless, ie any language/platform/framework

Edit: Also, any links to other discussions/sites related to this would be appreciated, I did some searching but haven't found any great results.

As a JS dev, I tend to go with Node + Express. For more complicated projects, I go straight for the MERN stack (add MongoDB and React to the previous two bits of framework). As for deployment... I use Heroku. Or, I guess I used Heroku, past tense, but now that the free tier is dying, I guess we're both on the lookout for a free quick deployment option, unless you just want to host the server yourself :D

Take a look at Adaptable.io. The free tier includes your database and supports MongoDB directly, so it's great for MERN apps.
