I have a couple of static pages that I serve from GitHub Pages. I was initially using Bootstrap, but while I was working with someone in my local tech community on Slack, he pointed out how long my page load took due to my pulling Bootstrap in its entirety (and I was only making one small usage of being able to align multiple text blocks in a single row). He suggested Barebones framework, and that is perfectly capable, and you only need to include 3 css files in your project (NO CMS). I recently changed over to MaterializeCSS framework which is a bit bulkier than Barebones, but really easy to work with.
