Exactly. The last website I made for a festival early last year I wrote by hand with Notepad++. It ended up being 14 HTML files (7 files and 2 languages) and a couple CSS files and a lot of reading about current CSS standards. Initially I started with WordPress but couldn't find a decent theme to do the layout we wanted, so I scrapped it after a couple days of trying to bend several themes to my will.
Not much different than how I did it in the 90s... except back then I couldn't just DuckDuckGo to find thousands of pages with HTML/CSS help.
