There are a few WordPress plugins to generate static sites, but I haven't heard much about them here on HN. I don't know if any are specifically intended to be easy to use by non-developers.

These plugins tend to die due to lack of maintenance.

Gatsby has a unique data system that let's you easily build static sites with WordPress/Drupal/other CMSes

This doesn't pull the layout over, does it?

It looks like it can grab the content (including images) from the WordPress API which is nice.

Yeah exactly — it lets you grab content/data/images via the WordPress API.
