grayestofghosts: Elliot Alderson with the word hackerman superimposed (hackerman)
After some consulting and multiple recommendations of WordPress and its derivatives I think I may have found what I'm looking for? And I think that thing is the static site generator Pelican. I was recommended it by a friend who said Hugo was going to be way too complicated and they used this one instead and it doesn't look too complicated. I've also seen Jekyll recommended and despite my fondness of gothic horror and the site looking slicker I have even less understanding of Ruby than Python (and that's not saying much) so I think I'll try Pelican first. I managed to get it installed on my computer and make a very very basic local site with it so it's usable to that extent, anyway! The only concern is that it seems to be built mostly for an updated feed, like a blog, and while it does support separate static pages that's not what it's for and I'm worried if branching too much into static pages will give me problems with link structure because it did look slightly iffy in some places in the documentation.

The available theme listing is a bit difficult to navigate and I would think that I would eventually build my own but picking one that's not terrible would be a good start especially as it should be easy to change here! So really I just need to get, well... content, haha. Or, organize content. And that's a tall order let me tell you...
