I'm building a personal website. Should I bother doing it in Python or just use a template?

  2. Simpler static site generator.

    Use a static site generator (I recommend Eleventy) unless you have a dynamic site (one which serves pages differently for different users, although the lines are blurring now because of how much dynamic content can be injected even into static sites). It’s a much better experience for both your users and you.

    I tend to prefer static site generators for this kind of use case. I use Nikola, which is written in and based on Python. You should be able to pick whatever html5up template you like and turn it into a Nikola template, too.
