If you like WordPress and want to use it to create a static site, you can.

1. Run a local installation of WordPress on your PC. For one option, see localwp.com (no affiliation).

2. Use WordPress to design whatever website you want, using almost any WordPress plugins you want. Just don't make any calls for time-varying external resources!

3. Use one of the WordPress plugins for exporting a WordPress site as a static site, i.e. as a folder of files that you can upload to GitHub Pages, Netlify, Neocities, or wherever. For one option, see simplystatic.com (no affiliation).
