Squarespace is a monthly fee, forever. I would love to buy a tool that lets me generate the static html that squarespace does and then add that into my $20/year for as many web sites as I want to host hoster.
I kind of long for Frontpage because as nasty as it was, you could at least host wherever you want, archive for decades, and was much cheaper in the long run.

Some options are: Bootstrap Studio, CoffeeCup Site Designer and Blocksapp. They have shortcomings, but all of them allow to export a complete HTML site.
