So at some point I want to make a personal website for my academic career; who am I, where did I study, where do I work right now, what do I research, how do you get in touch with me, etc.

BUT I refuse to faff about any tools or platforms for making websites, or doing any fancy stuff whatsoever; I'm gonna code this website by hand out of HTML and CSS, and it will consist of nothing more than static text, images, links, and formatting. I refuse to "build it beautiful", blech.

This is all well and good, but I'm worried about HTTPS. My browser refuses to connect to any non-HTTPS website, and clearly I'm going to have to make it happen on my website, but unlike composing the site and getting it hosted, I have no idea what's involved in getting my website certified (as evident from the fact I don't even have the vocabulary to properly articulate what I'm talking about).

Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks. (Boosts appreciated.)

@zleap That's interesting, I'm going to have to look into that, thanks!

@ijk @zleap This might help;

The easy deployment bit isn’t ready for public use yet but I’d be more than happy to help you with that should you need it. Good luck + looking forward to seeing your site and when it’s ready :)
