Vasiliy, I have often wished there was a way to show "products" on my HTML websites, but I have to say that the depth of information you want to be able to capture is probably beyond the scope of what a general purpose web design tool should do.
If your intent is to avoid the overhead of a blown-blown CMS system, have you considered purpose-built e-commerce platforms? There are several available, some of which can be found on the review site Capterra. I did a search for appropriate FREE software and found this list: capterra.ca/directory/3/ecommerce/software?features[]=Shopping+Cart&features[]=Cataloging%2FCategorization&features[]=Inventory+Management&free_version=Yes
Although it might not be the best solution for you, my personal choice for past projects has been OpenCart. It is light weight, available through Softaculous for installation on hosting websites, scales well, has some decent support from the user community and a few really talented extension developers.
