I would avoid using Site builder/Template since sometimes it just adds more unnecessary things to your script. If you familiar with Jamstack go with it. But basic HTML/CSS is not really that bad if just for the personal web.
To host it, since its only simple HTML/CSS anywhere cheap/free is good enough
I've recently discovered that bunnycdn for this is actually excellent for this despite me initially shitting on them.
Basically a FTP folder you drop your static stuff in there and it serves it with https...in a edge distributed manner. So its both fast and simple because there is no server per se.
Not free, but the scaling & bang per buck looks insane. Best as I can tell whether I host 1 page of 5 big sites ends up at same cost.
(Compulsory 10 USD per year recharge i.e. buy credit...not even month charge)
Platform - I'm exploring Gatsby. Think it'll do what I need it to.
Also looking at combining this with fly.io and the major cloud's serverless tech since it's a good fit but that can wait till I learn more.

The former looks really nice! (in fact, so nice that it makes me wonder how long it'll last this way ^^')
As for the latter, watch out for insane bandwidth pricing, and possibly consider using Cloudflare Workers as well!

I thought minimum spend was $1 a month, which is why I've kept my stuff on cheap shared and vps plans so far. I do occasionally get higher amounts of traffic for which a cdn would be useful.

Yeah 3x free ipv4 seems quite a lot

True. TBH though it would mostly be for API calls for storage so shouldn't exceed 1gb free allowance. Depends on what you do I guess

Their documentation is self contradictory. Says $1 min on front page and $10 recharge every 12 months in the docs

If you want to use a CSS Framework I'd like to recommend TailwindCSS and you can use their purge method to remove unnecessary classes ( Tailwind Production Optimization )

No my friend, that's just a mistake in trying to integrate the footer colour with the link bar. I published again and it's back.

I suspect the front page $1 is just a simplification. Given that I've got $11 credit hoping for a free year basically.
Push to github and cloudflare page/netlify

Not contradictory. $1 min charge against your balance each month. $10 of actual $$ has to be paid in 1x a year.
