@lanodan @neil This is something that a small army of small web developers can make a living on too. I used to room with a guy who made just these kinds of sites for small businesses, just enough PHP so the owner could post events or list their drink specials but mostly static designs using the colors and images. They kept themselves in beer money and rent (tbf many of their clients were bars and paid in-kind) as basically a human-powered Squarespace/Wix, without the complexity.
@lanodan @neil We don't really need large monopoly businesses squeezing all the value (and then enshittifying) out to themselves when the same money could buy a whole lot of distributed capacity and expertise as well as a more thriving economy, rich shareholders only can buy so much shit, whereas well-supported workers can in turn support more themselves.
And of course for businesses having a bit of design work done likely helps a lot to avoid looking like a generic website (even if I've seen way too many generic bootstrap sites).
But design doesn't means you need a whole bunch of frameworks, specially in the shipped version.
@lanodan @raven667 @neil oh, no, wordpress is definitely not less work. Theming wordpress is an absolute nightmare unless you want it to look exactly like every other wordpress site. If you don't need dynamic content, plain HTML is faster to write, faster to serve and orders of magnitude less stressful to host.
