What tech is best suited for a 1 person team trying to build a website these days? The less moving parts, the better. Where's the iphone of web development? Is there a simple solution yet, even for a technical solo founder who would rather not manage 1000 different components?
What do you mean by "build a website"?<p>There are plenty of off the shelf website services. I have done WordPress. I have done self hosted HTML files with includes files. I currently use BlogSpot exclusively and like that. But it actually took a bit to understand the degree to which I can customize it and what all I can do with it. Initially, I thought the templates worked like the templates in WordPress work. Nope. Not remotely.<p>Nothing is without a learning curve of some sort.
Wordpress can be made to do just about anything easily with their vast repo of plugins. 97Cents.net has super-basic hosting for <$10/year- good for MVP & development. WP can be migrated without that much effort when you grow into something with real traffic. There's quite a few decent free themes, & you can get most any task you get stuck on on Fiverr for <$15.

Wordpress or Squarespace. Both are hosted. Wordpress is especially nice as you can export and deploy your own self-hosted site with all of your content later.
It depends <i>greatly</i> on what you want the website to do.<p>If it's just a simple informational website, weebly is handy.<p>If you need to do simple e-commerce, check out Shopify.
