Every solution has its pros and cons. Based on what people actually need, they choose the most proper tools:
-If you're really not into code, Wix or SquareSpace are good choices. But they have very limited capabilities beyond static pages.
- For dynamic pages or a full control on your website's functionality, Wordpress is an excellent choice. But it's hard to implement without any coding skill! You can have a lot of functionalities but you can't customize them if you are not a developer.
- Airtable or Notion gives you a lot of customization without any coding skills. So can make a nice dynamic page based on them with the help of an external no-code tool. Their problems? Very functional but without a decent UI!
It was my experience and I could be wrong. But as a no-techie, I think my experience could be relevant!
