It doesn’t sound like you want a static site generator. You want a Squarespace alternative. One option I use is Ghost. You can host it yourself for free. But it’s not a static site. Static site means static. That means no backend, no forms, none of that. You won’t get a CMS, you won’t get drag and drop components. That’s not what static site generators do.
