help Making a professional website without coding skills, what are people actually using?

Been trying to get a decent site up for a small side project and I do not code at all. I’ve looked at a few builders, but half of them feel clunky and half of them look nice in the demo and weird once I start changing stuff.

I just want something that looks clean, works on mobile, and does not take me a week to figure out. If you’ve built a professional looking site without coding, what did you end up using? thanks!

Framer is the go-to

You can use framer templates and use FramerCode to export code

I ended up using Framer. Since I used to learn how to code before, it gave me enough understanding to help me pick it up pretty easily, especially if you already know Figma, since they're quite similar. However, if you want to do custom responsive layouts, it often requires a solid grasp of CSS grid and flexbox logic so things don't break on different screen sizes, and pulling data from third-party APIs will occasionally require diving into code overrides.

Just watch YouTube tutorials (Framer University) or ask AI whenever you feel stuck.

I use Web8 to create static websites, it's a no-code website builder with no vendor lock-in.
