A tiny bit of webdev-side dynamicism can really help with managing visitor-side static websites built on .html files in directories. If you run your own webserver and write HTML then check out server side includes. Being able to include .html fragments in other .html files means no need to edit the same bit in dozens of .html files (ie, left_menu.html, footer.html, etc). And since SSI hasn't really changed in 20 years the major implementations (nginx, apache, etc) have basically nill attack surface or mantainence burden. And there's no "rebuilding" or anything that's not HTML markup to maintain. HTML+webserver SSI is just more HTML but without the redundant editing.
