        Of course, it can

        There is no difference to Google if you build a site using cms or not. In fact, all the sites use HTML. The main difference is how is generated this HTML. As an example, Wordpress run using PHP to generate the CSS HTML code. Other CMS use a different language such as Python or Ruby.

        So factors involved on rank a website has nothing to do with the CMS as long you implement a good SEO optimization you can rank it no matter the CMS. Of course, there are some CMS that are SEO friendly out the box. The main advantage of using pure HTML websites is that is easy to optimize the performance that is, in my opinion, the main advantage. On the other hand, there are several disadvantages. Most of them related to scale the website. Usually for local business pure HTML website can be great.

        In my case, I found that you can have a mix of both world using custom WordPress Themes, that means not commercial bloated themes. So have the performance of an HTML site and the benefits of having a CMS. But that is just my opinion based on my experience.

        Talking about your case no matter if you choose to make the project just using HTML these are the point that you need to take care

        • Good Content
        • Good On Page Optimization
        • Good Backlink Profile
        • Good Technical SEO

        I hope this information answers your question

          Yeah, with above. There is absolutely no difference if your making your website in PHP, HTML 4 or 5, it all comes down (the output) to the very same, HTML! A CMS is just a way to 'manage' the content on your website in a dynamic way, without FTP'ing your way around with files. With dynamic it's simply being extracted from often a SQL related database or so.
