I also built a fairly simple page based on Gatsby last year.

I loved the way doing a git commit and push automatically pushes to the
live server; which, as you say, is being hosted for free.

I found there was a bit of learning curve (well, more the effort
deciding the best starting design package), and then hard to customize.
Adding a comments form was not as trivial as I would have hoped.
