Not exactly. I suggest using Netlify CMS, which uses git under the hood, and means git is invisible to you.

One way to set something like this up is to use the gatsby template I linked, which can be used without knowing what React, GraphQL (or even Gatsby) are.

I have never used Gatsby, but another in the space is Hugo. If you want a blog then you can choose from one of the many different templates. In terms of PITA, this isn't far off from a self-hosted Wordpress option. Netlify even gives you the option to drag and drop your entire site rather than using a tool such as Git. Yes, Hugo and all these other tools can get to be a massive headache, but you can get a blog going really easy.
