This isn't a solution for non-tech people, but I've really enjoyed making a blog that sort of sits in between database-backed and Jekyl/Hugo. Got the idea from Jose Valim's dashbit blog. Basically a folder of markdown files that gets parsed into memory on startup and then served dynamically from there. A Go app that doesn't need to hit a database has response times nearly as fast as static, and you can still do things like including related content ("more like this") at the bottom of a post, or pagination/filtering on the index page.
