You can do a lot with just HTML5 and Javascript. Building websites without databases has huge advantages. Although editing content requires knowledge of HTML, and access to sftp or SSH, discarding all the extra code and vulnerabilities of CMS-based systems can make your life much simpler and can get you fantastic results with less time and upkeep.
Advantages include:
- Simple websites may be done on flat rate or hourly pricing, in as little as 2 hours. For personal or informational sites, dynamic content.
- Beautiful and secure
- Load super-fast
- HTML5 + Javascript
- Easy (sometimes free) to host
- If you don't need to make frequent updates, a CMS like Wordpress or Drupal is overkill - and only invites unnecessary security vulnerabilities
