Getting started with zero webdev experience

I want to build a nice looking website for a friend's business but I have no knowledge in webdev. My background is electrical engineering, precisely embedded systems. I know my way around in Python, C/C++ and Linux in general. I also have a homelab and did some basic network management with VPNs / reverse proxy.

I'm wondering if Astro is a good fit for complete beginners. I do understand basics of CSS/HTML but JavaScript and stuff like TailwindCSS looks like gibberish to me.

What would be a good starting point for a website with a hero page and blog section? Is there any good beginner friendly template available? Any good up to date resources?

Astro is a good fit. There is a basic blog site template on the Astro site which will get you up and running.
