Thanks for the article, it's a very readable journal, sharing experiences and writing up also the reasoning behind decisions contributes to future builders.

Maybe someone already said it but I'll echo anyway - unless it's all about going outside the comfort zone to learn new tools, the person building should always first picture what needs to be built, then pick the right materials and tools for the project. Taking their own skills into account when using said tools of course.

Preferably even think a little ahead about your content to come if the site is meant to last for years when picking the tech. Ask yourself some "whatifs". Like what if you want to later on make some trade for yourself and set up shop for your crafts or skillset, can it be done easily enough as well?

TL;DR - Useful and well written article, there's never enough easy-read, non-commercial, experience-based journals about site building basics to help newcomers. Cheers!
