Updated title to reflect latest edit

Corrected the question; should not be about vanilla JS, I meant to ask about manual HTML/CSS vs SSG.

Then you want to change the theme. You could edit all of the pages. That's doable for only three, but quickly gets of of hand. So you want a content management system (CMS) that lets you separate themes/templates from the actual content. You can't do that just with JS on the frontend (unless you're creating a SPA, but that has some problems of its own). A static site generator is simple, secure, and scalable because you just serve HTML files, no databases needed. | |
