I second this. If you spend a lot of time on HN and other tech-minded forums (fori?), I think you could get the impression that just because you setup a web site, you must use MVC or some other JavaScript-heavy SPA stack, because such projects are of course interesting and intellectually challenging, and get lots of airtime when established, basic Web techniques are boring. Of course MVC (React, Angular, ...) has its place for web apps and is great when it fits, but I think it's crazy and counter-productive to use complex and costly MVC frameworks for mere content-driven sites (like what most public websites are about).
