Looking deeper, it looks like if you want to use GitHub Pages to publish and host, then you're using Jekyll. For now, we can just create a single static index.html with whatever CSS it needs embedded. We can deal with templating and stuff as we develop a content strategy for what the site needs later.

I've done some research on this fairly recently myself for my own Github Pages-hosted website.

If major organizational support is a priority, Jekyll is a very strong candidate: it's developed by Github themselves, and it's the default first-party supported solution for GH Pages. Integration is very tight, and unless you need to do something complex with style (think React components), it should do what you need it to very well.

I'm personally experimenting with eleventy, but it's still a one-person project and isn't quite feature-complete yet.

You might want to try Hugo over Netlify. You don't necessarily need both, but together they worked for me.

• Netlify: deployments are far more easy to debug than Github pages, plus it's infinitely more customizable.
• Hugo: you're not bound to Ruby (sorry, I don't know Ruby myself).

In the end, after some research on some open source blogging platforms, most notably WordPress and Ghost because they have managed hosting, we chose to use Ghost for the Enarx Blog.

One key advantage of Ghost over WordPress is that it provides native support for email newsletters. It manages members and subscriptions and allows you to segment the user base. Other advantages of Ghost include: a) native markdown support, b) more minimalist approach, and c) more modern architecture. It also provides webhooks and a REST API for integrations.
