I use Hugo (https://gohugo.io) on my local machine to create the website and upload the resulting static site to the server via rsync. The website templates and CSS sheets are all custom, so I get total control over the result.

For anyone interested I created a privacy focussed theme for Hugo, with no third party scripts or assets:

I wanted a minimalist theme that's fast to load, but a lot of commonly cited examples are too extreme or look too dated for my liking. I wanted the same results, but something a bit more up to date and with code highlighting. You can see the end result on my blog (total network transfer 78kB):

same here, I had created my custom themed html templates and css for pelican, but recently moved everthing to hugo. Complete control, no third party dependencies, no javascript (outside of pages with ttyrec recordings) and extremely fast to regenerate. Note this does assume you do your css preprocessing/minifying outside of Hugo though (I use compass), from Hugo's perspective your css is just another file.
