As far as mechanics go, I've found a great compromise between the power and convenience of a CMS and the simplicity of a static page: using a static site generator. I personally prefer Hakyll[1], as you might have guessed :P. This makes managing a structured site easy without having to configure a complicated server. Of course, it also means you can't have much dynamic content. For something simple--say comments--you could use an external service like Disqus, but you won't be able to do much beyond that without running your own server.
