What would you recommend?
HTML and Caddy.
Probably overkill, but for projects like this I’ve setup WordPress in the past. Once everything was done, I converted the WordPress page to a static site with httrack and use the static version.
This gives the ease of setting up and editing combined with the stability and security of a static HTML website.
If you want a no-code solution, I recently created a homepage using GrapesJS (for free). I’m hosting it on Cloudflare Pages (for free). The whole setup was dead simple and almost completely free, I’m only paying for the domain.
EDIT: oops, that isn’t technically self-hosted…but GrapesJS is a very cool tool for building a simple HTML website. Just make it looks like you want and it’ll spit out all the files you need for hosting wherever your heart desires. Caddy, GitHub, whatever.
