This might be a good way to get something up and running real quick. Thanks

Edit: and markdown is flexible enough that I could probably easily migrate stuff later if I needed to.

It's a Markdown-based static site generator - https://www.mkdocs.org

Material for MkDocs I think is almost universally the theme I see in use - https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/

More aimed at documentation, but maybe it can fit into your workflow?

I’d rather not have to do it all by hand.

That said most of my stuff in the past few years has been small enough to be handcrafted, without static page generators.

Wordpress, or any other dynamic system, always has the added risk of extra vulnerabilities, which forces to perpetually update them, which in turn can bring new ones.
