I use Hugo for my personal website. I tried some famous static site generator before. I tried Jekyll, it's easy to build with GitHub Pages, but the build time is really slow. I tried 11ty, Gatsby, Gridsome, etc. There are good, but the build time not as fast as Hugo.
I'm active as moderator at WordPress Indonesia. And for my client project, I still recommend them to build website with WordPress, because WordPress is more familiar and user friendly. I only recommend static site if my clients knows what they are doing.
