I haven't looked under the covers but if it's just a static website, there could be a few options that make it easier to manage going forward.
I know Housatonic (npub1fnl…czv7) shies away from "vendor lock in" situations (e.g. proprietary formats), but a good middle ground seems to either be staticly generated CMS or file based CMS systems (e.g. produces text files which holds your content – usually in Markdown which is not proprietary – so one can "easily" move their content to another platform).
So basically I abhor not just vendor lock-in but single implementator lock in as well (e.g. the format is open but there's only 1 practically instance of software what works with it), yet for some things I try very hard to be practical. (e.g. GitHub is okay because it is based on Git which, while it only has a single implementator, has multiple GitHub-like platforms (including self-hosting ones) that act like GitHub close enough that I have alternatives.
Maybe Ted B (npub1nqt…g9vu) has some ideas here too. (e.g. I like Grav okay, probably other options as well for file-based CMS). The statically generated CMS is at least no worse off than hand writing your HTML (even if the document store is in a DB schema that's proprietary to the platform).
