If you want to host it on your own webserver, Wordpress is best answer. There is no CMS that will really compare to WP for ease of set up and configuration if you are hosting yourself. WP is also portable so if you do decide to move it to a different host you can port the whole site.
If you don’t mind someone else hosting, Wix, Weebly, Duda or Squarespace are very simple systems that can get a site up for you quickly and looking decent. But you cannot move the site to a new host, you are required to stay within their environments.

I find Drupal just as easy to set up as wordpress. Most shared web hosts have a script to do everything for you, including installing updates. In fact, I find Drupal’s administration more logical and easier to manage. (I may be biased, since I spent 10 years developing Drupal sites.)
The other advantage is that, unlike WordPress, Drupal themes and plugins (the Drupal term is “modules”) are almost all open source and free. I find that WordPress has lots of plugins that give you the basic version for free, but then want to upsell you to a paid version.

Totally forgot about Drupal and Joomla for CMSs. Its been along time for me since I have worked on a Drupal site, but I do remember it being pretty easy to pick up.
