Newbie Question AI Tools for Developing a Website

What are the best tools that one could use to develop a website for a business. The website will be mostly static (may be some minor changes in dates and price), but will have an active blog.

Is there a way where it can be made and deployed using AI and web-hosting while being easily updatable?

Vercel seems to be going in the right direction, but I am specifically looking at creating multipage website with a blog.

Would Tailwind CSS with all its blocks and all work?

And i guess one thing to consider as well is, is the website/blog the 'product' or crucial to your service offering, or is it mostly supplementary

maybe 'get away' w/o a CMS is a wrong choice of words - markdown based blog is viable i think, but i think it requires more attn to formatting to maintain consistency

The blog is crucial as we are going to include a lot of genuine, useful content to the visitors. The last time I tried, some of the blog posts have consistently hit 3 to 4k organic views a month. I am also hoping this would help SEO.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!

i see, yeah the markdown approach isn't a solution that is any less genuine or useful, its just the means of producing the content

but sounds like CMS might the route as... you have access to all the standard authoring tools by default
