Depends, what does your friend want to learn? Marketing, Web design, Front end design, SEO?

Throwing a couple more options:

1.- free: GitHub + Hugo template + Netlify Easy to setup, plus it has an admin so he can update and blog as needed. Cons: Hugo and Terminal are hard.

2.- Pick a nice paid Wordpress template, export it as a static website, plus Formspree for the Contact form. Pro: Looks good, quick! Cons: Maintain database somewhere Alternative: paid HTML template

3.- Wordpress.com has a nice paid plan Pro: you and your friend can forget about maintaining everything. Cons: paid, depends on budget.

4.- Kirby is another nice alternative. Just released a new version a couple days ago. No database.
