    Chromium, Firefox… if you open the dev tools, you can edit everything, with it showing in the browser in real-time (WYSIWYG).

    Firefox Developer Edition has some extra tools and debugging modes, but some are redundant if you’re using VS Code.

    If you’re looking for a Dreamweaver-like thing, where you could drop elements with minimum HTML writing… you may want to check Seamonkey Composer.

    For a simple personal website though, I’d recommend using a markdown editor, then either export it through a template, or have a template interpreter on the site, like GitHub Pages.

      This is what a static site generator does.

      (I don’t know why jamstack has taken over that site, but the list itself seems to be intact.)

      You can even use Markdown file and convert it dynamically to HTML using javascript through Markdeep by just dropping

      <!-- Markdeep: --><style class="fallback">body{visibility:hidden;white-space:pre;font-family:monospace}</style><script src="markdeep.min.js"></script><script src="https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/latest/markdeep.min.js?"></script><script>window.alreadyProcessedMarkdeep||(document.body.style.visibility="visible")</script>

      at the end of the markdown file. It makes it dead simple to update using a text editor later on and to host on a static website.
