best way to build a website?

I have some experience with Tilda. It's a Russian website builder. Has some really nice features and you could have tones of possibilities with Zero Block. Half of the tutorials are in Russian, but they are okay for a non-Russian speaker actually. All of them are on YouTube.

Wordpress is great for a headstart.

i really don't see the need to waste time building a website in code when you can dedicate the time to designing the website in a beautiful and elegant way. unless you have experience with the code and feel more comfortable. wordpress with elementor, webflow or readymag are excellent options to develop a beautiful website without needing code and worry only about the aesthetics of the website. of course you will need the minimum notion of html and css for the case of fonts and hierarchy, in addition to the position of the elements.
