Ask HN: Freelance website builders/maintainers, what's in your 2024 toolkit?

This will sound like cheating but I argue for the time it saves me, both in creation and on-going maintenance, and delivering a quality finished project: Squarespace.

The clients are happy, if they get to the point where they want to manage the content themselves, and for less than $300/yr they get hosting, access to a payment processor if they need it, and domain renewal. It's been a no-brainer.

I do same, but with Wordpress and Elementor builder. It's good enough for most small scale clients on nano-size budget. But Squarespace is a solid tool too!

I don't feel that's cheating. In many ways you're a better option than a generalist, since I assume you've become an expert on that platform. I know others who focus on Shopify, Wix, etc.
