> hiring a contractor to do anything in any growing metro area is unreasonably expensive.

So is hiring a contractor to build a website. Do you still feel that's "unreasonable" ?

You don’t need to comply with pages and pages of arcane regulations to build a website though.

Same in the United States: the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Yes! Yes, of course it is.

Hiring a competent developer to build a simple brochure website shouldn't cost as much as a small car, but yet here we are.

You don't need a competent developer for that. You can go to one of the website builders like SquareSpace and do it for free, or hire some student to do that for you.

There's zero reason to write any code by hand for a brochure website.
