I think you're being too generous calling them "a bit underqualified". They should be disqualified for not knowing such basic operations. Otherwise, you're paying them to educate them.
If it's not under your control to choose which team members are actually qualified for the job, perhaps you could prepare required reading that covers the basics of HTML, CSS, JS - for example: Learn Web Development. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn

Obviously the team cannot “hire engineers” because of $$$. You either got to pay them or train them. There is no way around it. Hence option B is the only real option.
