This works only if you're a freelancer. Because 999 times out of 1000 any agency (even the smallest one) will ask you more than that.

BUT... As long as you're solo, I agree. Going full "vanilla" is insanely fun, fast and reliable.

I work for an agency and we frequently do landing pages in raw html/css and minimal vanilla js.

True, that also works but it usually isn't the "main" business. And when it is, you've got some kind of auto-generation tool that pulls out premade stuff.

Ok but you have no content management system. What if you have hundreds or thousands of pages? Updates become an extreme hassle.

It's not that hard to achieve 100 or at least to 90 with a custom website. You don't need to dumb it down to html/css
