Wix, Weebly and others are even simpler. Just drag stuff about where you want rather than be restricted to the design of a template and the columns and sidebar structure of WordPress.
WordPress is nice but I find it’s more faff these days to get a nice looking site than other options and you have to pay for some good templates or get down and dirty with CSS to do it yourself. Also WordPress is still primarily designed around blogging.
As for a static site, depends what it is. Plenty of sites I go to that never change. I’m just looking for the contact details or a particular thing to download and it’s always there.
