so I'm looking into creating a neocities website for myself and It's been about 10 years since I last dabbled in HTML and web design proper... back then I used macromedia dreamweaver MX.
so any advice on what are some good modern website building software?
or possibly an alternative like dreamwever?
I really don't want to touch the adobe creative cloud lol.

Do you have coding knowledge, basic html and css? If so, best option would be to use a framework like bootstrap, download a preset base template and build from there. Frameworks have stupid amount of documentation and are super simple to get started.
If that's too much, try something like webflow, or.. dare I say it some other "Web builders". I haven't heard of dreamweaver being used in Web development since I were in school to be honest.

I just use HTML and CSS and I use Visual Studio as my IDE. It works well with saving directly to FTP via WinSCP on the fly.

learn them in tandem. CSS isn't particularly complex, and is pretty essential for building websites.

honestly I sorta have been, I've already gotten quite a lot of work done, CSS along with HTML 5 has proven quite the powerful tool combination.
