What is the best tool/platform/program to use for building websites from scratch? [I Design Websites]

What is the best platform/program to use to build a website from scratch nowadays? I'm helping a friend make one. I made one YEARS ago in class, but so much has changed. Any advice? Books or other sites to check out?

Yes, I've been googling my eyes out. 🤣😂😂

Thanks in advance!

The best way to build a website from scratch is to use a good text editor and code it by hand.

That may be too much for what you want to do.

A good option is to use WordPress, especially hosting at WordPress.com. It's easy and it's cheap, especially if you want a blog-like site.

If you want something other than that, it's a path into Perdition, but that's a different issue.
