As a web dev who enjoys frontend web dev, I think I found the perfect personal website stack for building personal websites for other people.
Astro as SSG, UnoCSS / TailwindCSS for CSS, DecapCMS for CMS. Everything can be hosted for free out of Netlify, auth is handled for free, I can create custom content types for any sort of page or blog or portfolio wanted. Analytics can be done with Google or any amount of paid analytics services.
I recently used that stack for the first time and created a simple portfolio (+ cv & bio) website in a single day, closely mimicking the client's previous Wordpress site which was a broken mess, with a few design tweaks.
If I spent a while figuring out how automatic image compression works, then created a template for it, I'm pretty sure I could bring down the time for creating a totally new unique website down to maybe half a day, or sprinkle in some cooler stuff like a custom interactive frontpage element or something and get it done in the original timeframe.
Edit: Stack for my own website is very similar. But instead of a CMS I write everything straight into HTML.
