I am trying to build a small website. I don't know how to write HTML or JavaScript or CSS. I always hear sponsorships about SquareSpace from content creators such as TheLinuxExperiment. I understand that a website is public information but I want a builder that does not come with any unnecessary trackers, I.E. a noninvasive website. Are there any options?

    Host a Wordpress instance on a privacy respecting VPS like Najal.la, or even Hetzner is great. Just change the settings to remove Gravatar integration and do not use Google Fonts. There are a lot of plugins and themes that you can install, but many come with third-party scripts and/or trackers. So, make sure you keep an eye out for what you are installing.

    Your best bet is WordPress. There are literally millions of different themes to choose from, and you don't need to know anything about website development. Unless things have changed, you can spin one up for free with a few clicks of a button on WordPress.com.

    A static site generator like Jekyll hosted on Github pages might be a good option. It's free and easy-ish to configure without knowing much code since there are an abundance of open source templates around.
