I completely understand the value of learning HTML and CSS before web frameworks like React, but I think you're missing my point: this isn't what I'd recommend to someone who wanted to get started with web development, it's just an alternative to paying for a site builder for those who are comfortable with text-based editing.

But we get it. @sheriffderek wrote an article to "Build out Ember portfolio websites for beginners" a few years ago: codementor.io/@sheriffderek/less-t... - hahaha

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I was trying to go for, but much better... Oh well.
