I want a static site generator where I need to do minimal customizations. I want to edit the menus all using GUI instead of doing them via code or configuration files. Any guidance? Also I want to use a CMS instead of tinkering the code everytime I write.

You can do this with Jekyll.
Once you install it in your site, you need to just duplicate your post and write everything through markdown.
Also there are tons of themes to customize the looks. Best of all it runs well in GitHub pages. Just commit and push your changes and the post is live.

This comment is supposing that you are using windows. If you have other operating system, search for your specific operating system instructions. This is something you will deal with just the first time. Writing blog posts will be a breeze once the setup is done. Commented Feb 22 at 0:05
