Wordpress started as a blogging platform but support for regular pages is very good, as is it’s forums, should you get stuck. There are a fair few sites in the Wordpress showcase that illustrate its breadth and depth https://wordpress.org/showcase/ <https://wordpress.org/showcase/>
It does need a database, but a lot of hosting providers use automated tools to enable Wordpress to be installed & configured with a few clicks. Indeed, if you have an on-rev account, you can add Wordpress to your primary on-rev domain or any addon domains using softaculous from C-Panel. BTW if you want to take a more DIY approach, I use Coda when hand-made pages are required https://panic.com/coda/ <https://panic.com/coda/> Good luck with your quest.
