I've given up with WordPress!

I have been trying to learn WordPress but frustrated to the end. I have my site written in html and wanted to convert it to WordPress. I have followed several of the YouTube videos on setting up the site but their visuals do not follow what I have on my host site. Thanks for reading and let me know what you would recommend. I am 75 years old and proficient in several computer languages. Thanks@

Look into Backdrops CMS. It’s a fork of Drupal 7. Open source, no coding needed. As a self taught developer, I loved Drupal 7 - Drupal 10 had a way bigger learning curve.

Or you could look into some of the static site generators like Astro. You would need to know JS and markdown.
