How to make a WordPress website from static pages?
There are several dozen static pages linked to each other (linked) and built on the same style template. It turns out that there is a site, but static without CMS.
Are there any WordPress plugins to combine all these pages into a dynamic site or a cohesive theme? Or is it possible to create a theme only by hand and add pages one by one through the admin panel?
Or maybe there are other CMS with similar functionality?

Hello!
Usually, when something like this is required, I do the following:
1) Create a custom theme. You can even tie the bootstrap.
2) We transfer the content of the pages to the VP. To save internal linking, or at least properly set up 301 redirects, there is a wonderful old Html import 2 plugin. Moves content + creates redirects + saves linking. https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/import-html-pages/
3) If each page has its own layout, then you can load your scripts and styles for it using functions. Also, according to the slug of the page, you can create a separate template, and even a separate header & footer. (It all depends on the specific task, design, etc.).
4) After that, to add "dynamism" you can screw ACF custom fields.
5) To add bulk redirects you can use htaccess || Yoast SEO plugin.
So you can transfer a huge number of pages with the least difficulty.
PS Sometimes there is a need to change urls from old types to new ones and at the same time create redirects. To do this, you can compare pages in Excel (sorting rows) by page title, and then create redirects. (this is in case, for some reason, HTMl Import 2 does not suit you)
what is it for?
for static sites there is github, jekkil the same paid codepen and similar services
