Easy tools and templates that help you do it were always available. Now there are real threats to "building your own site" and are not the lack of knowledge. It's things like Age Verification laws that are going to put a huge burden on web site devs.

Or rising hardware and cloud hosting costs caused by AI. And also the resource consumption from AI scrapping that will make it less viable to self-host. Meanwhile those vibe coding-based tools for building sites will be gated behind a token cost.
