Use WordPress. It's by far the most used content management platform, so if you're a beginner, you'll find the most resources. It's also free and open source.
Then you can, if you want to make it even easier, use a page builder like Elementor or Divi or something. Or not.
There's also Wix for very simple page builds.

Your in self hosting community... You can't build in Wix and selfhost. Wix relies on their infrastructure always being present.

chiming in, even excluding self host, I wouldn't recommend wix, their sites are so bloated and take forever for me to load, and I've had Firefox just straight refuse to load pages before that are wix run.

I agree, I only include it as a "woah this WordPress stuff is confusing!" lower barrier to entry.
Try WordPress first. If they're absolutely stuck, wix is a lot more beginner friendly. But yes, beware of the downsides to having your hand held.

D'oh.
Yep. My b. WordPress or bust, really. You can mess around with drupal or Joomla, but WordPress will be the lowest barrier to entry for self hosting.
