Rather than a framework, I would suggest a tool: Hugo.

html5-boilerplate
A professional front-end template for building fast, robust, and adaptable web apps or sites.
https://html5boilerplate.com/ + CSS framework eventually (easier to create a responsive website, which I think is the trickiest part) + gulp or webpack for task automation (e.g. minifying)

Appwrite
Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support . Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

I would suggest SvelteKit with their static adapter https://kit.svelte.dev/

Static site: something to make basic page templates and reusable components. I've been playing around with Astro lately and, while still very new, suits your project perfectly. Of the static site generators (Nuxt, Next, Vuepress, etc.,) it seems the simplest and easiest to pick up and use.

eleventy 🕚⚡️
A simpler static site generator. An alternative to Jekyll. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.
Since I discovered eleventy (https://www.11ty.dev/), I have not used anything else. It's fast, easy, and fully customizable.

If you are already comfortable with Angular, I'd go with an Angular Static site generator - https://scully.io/

I find parcel to be good zero-to-small-config solution.

I'll give a shoutout to Eleventy for the ease of getting started with it as a JS developer, and I'll mention Bridgetown since I'm one of the maintainers on the project. 😃 Either way, I highly encourage you to check out Render for deployment…all static sites are free and if you end up need any backend infra down the road, it's a snap.

Just to indirectly tack onto the other reply, you mentioned drag n drop. Here’s one for Svelte. There’s a lot of options for almost anything you’d want. But in reality, most standard things are so easy to do you don’t need a library. In general, with Svelte you tend to not have to reach for NPM, but if you really either want to use a library or you end up needing one, there’s plenty of svelte specific options as well as the endless vanilla js libraries

It's like building a sandcastle with a bulldozer, but I use Gatsby for my static stuff.
-
https://vibejs.com can be used similar to JQuery, component based or mix of the two.

If you want to build something, I would just write some HTML and use Bulma framework for CSS. It's lightweight and has no JavaScript, so you won't overcomplicate it with a heavy JS framework.
