I would like to start my own website one day. I'm thinking that my website would have a few static pages such as homepage and contact page, a page that would show my artworks with pagination and a blog. I'm most likely going to be writing the frontend with just vanilla HTML and CSS, no JavaScript framework to keep it simple. If I must use a JS framework however, I'll go with Vue.
Thing is, concerning the page that shows my artworks, I kind of dislike the idea of manually editing the HTML to add a new entry of a new piece of art that I just made, same thing when it comes to blog. it feels... bad and it seems like it would be a maintenance nightmare.
I'm thinking that I would use a lightweight database engine like SQLite 3 when it comes to the artwork and blog part, but I wonder if even using a DB engine in the first place is already overkill for a small personal website.
Which web framework would be right for my specific needs? And which hosting should I use? I want to avoid relying on big tech, so no Google Cloud and AWS and this also includes GitHub Pages because GitHub is owned by MS. I don't mind having to code because I know how to code.
I don't mind paying a few euros for hosting. A free option is a bonus, but I am open to paid options as well. (actually I would prefer paid hosting, see thread below)
I'm new to hosting a website and web development, so help would be welcome.
