To help illustrate my point, here's a short rendition of my personal career trajectory. I started out studying Marine Biology. Then taught ESL. Then worked in non-profits in Mexico and Central America. Then became really interested in building online businesses to related to the travel industry. So while living in a small jungle community in Honduras, I decided to teach myself how to make websites. I chose PHP as my first programming language to learn (with CSS and HTML) using the Joomla framework. Living in a small town, which just received dialup internet and lacked running water, I wasn't exactly in tech-hub. But I dedicated the hours and spent many long days (and nights) wrestling with the concepts of a CMS, learning CSS (for IE6 no less) and figuring out how to make a really ugly website. Then an amazing thing happened. Word got out in the town I was living in that I knew how to make websites, and suddenly owner of the internet cafe I had been living at for the past 4 weeks asked me to make them a website. So I did! Then they referred me to others in the town who needed websites and soon I had a side hustle that was allowing me to learn and earn at the same time.

I'm using https://picocms.org/.
It is PHP based, works on a cheap limited web hoster.
The concept is: Upload a markdown file plus associated media, and it does the rest for you.
For customisation, you can use Twig and CSS, or a predefined theme (I didn't look into these, I wanted a custom appearance).
For feeds there are plugins, for comments I use a "mail me at [email protected]" approach.

And both allow customization and building, installable plugins and themes. But modern version allow give more control from the system to the dev.
