The easiest way to make changes to the site without a CMS?

The task for the client is to make changes to the price tables, contact details, and add articles to the static site.
Website is simple html+css+jquery.
Please advise a simple way to make it as easy to use for the client.
Is Jekyll suitable for these purposes?
Or is something like Textolite better?
Or some other templating engine or simple engine?
I do not want to pull on MODX or WP.
I'm looking in the direction of Jekyll, I've wanted to try it for a long time. Is it suitable for this situation?
Thank you very much in advance!

I do not want to pull on MODX or WP.

Are there other control systems?
You can choose a simple, undemanding CMS.
Fortunately, we live in the 21st century :)
PS: Jekyll itself is not bad, but not flexible.
If you have to go beyond its capabilities, it will be difficult to do so.
Unlike simple php+mysql cms systems.
PPS: I haven't worked with the latest Jekyll, maybe it has become more flexible.
I tested it at the very beginning of its journey.

and add articles.

It's already a directory.
Than Modx not like for this role?

Google spreadsheets.
If I understand your problem correctly, then this is the simplest solution. The client sets prices in his tables, changes contact details, etc.
And your site is synchronized either on the fly or at some interval.

Option: save data in JSON files, update (more precisely, download updated ones) via FTP (after checking on the local version), pull data from them (including AJAX, without reloading footer headers).

Look towards Headless CMS.
