Going back to HTML/CSS
For those who care about such matters, for the first 10 or so years of my web development journey I usually made websites using good old HTML/CSS and maybe some simple PHP for including menus and sidebars (so I didn't need to edit every page manually). I certainly never had databases or even used javascript.
Then I discovered WordPress! In particular, WordPress.org not WordPress.com
I then proceeded to build everything using WordPress. I evevn made a business out of it building client sites using WordPress. It is a great Content Management System that allows easy build and deployment plus backend access to edit the site by anyone with a login for it. And most importantly, it is open source and free to download and install on a webhosting service. I still think it is a great platform to use if you want to launch anything online.
Box Score Dice Sports has been a WordPress site for the past 10 or so years. It has served me well. However, I came to a point that I realised I actually enjoy coding (technically HTML is 'markup' not code but I'm not here to split hairs), so I recently converted all my websites back to HTML/CSS and javascript for a bit of function. There is no backend database, no logging into a website to edit a What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG) User Interface. I now edit in HTML again and love it.
