Personal websites are attracting attention again as people rediscover the value of owning a domain, controlling their work, and building an Internet outside...
What are you all using for your personal websites, is it just a simple HTML or flat file CMS? There are so many nice personal websites around but I wouldn’t be able to do that cause I’m stuck in the design-with-html-tables phase before CSS xD
I just built one for myself with React (specifically wanted to learn the framework). And no other real UI libraries, so it’s effectively just HTML+CSS built with React components. I started off with some tables and then experimented with flexbox when I made it responsive for mobile. But I have it deployed as a basic static site so I think that precludes using a CMS or something like that (not sure I’m kind of a noob to web dev).
Anyway I think there’s nothing wrong with it, I’m pretty happy how it turned out. I don’t think you necessarily need some complicated stack especially for a simple personal site 👍
There’s an old saying: “If it’s stupid but it works, it isn’t stupid.”
Tables still work and probably always will, whether they’re meant for layout or not.
CGI on the other hand, has pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur. If you need that, you’ll have to learn something new. Or find a very amenable host.

I’d rather see your personal page with HTML tables than yet another CSS framework clone.
