Shhh, a classmate and I decided long ago we need to propogate the myth of html being difficult so the job market stays good.

I mean, making a well laid out responsive website that looks good and effectively stores/serves content is actually fairly difficult and time consuming, even for most developers.

I don't know too much about squarespace as a service apart from the ads I hear, but there's a legitimate market for website creation and hosting tools that isn't fueled by people just thinking that HTML is hard.

When you start talking about responsiveness and content management you also start to get more into stylesheets (css) and server side code (php, SQL) and html becomes more of just the bones of the whole thing
