While a nice software helping with the workflow would be cool,
I believe that the optimal end result should be a set of static pages
that could just be placed on a folder to be served over the web.

And it is not necessary to set up a full blown CMS.
The is a chance that it even gets in the way,
by distracting from the real task.
Maintaining it for a long time, is another problem.
Usually just the software-updates for security issues, can be quite a hassle.
Still, those are just warning, all power to the dedicated CMS builders. :-)

I help maintaining a few webpages with simple templating mechanisms,
that do the navigational links. Which works suprisingly well.

One is based on m4:

another one is done with tiny python script:
