I'm trying to build a simple informational website from scratch and I'm wondering if I need to set up a backend or a database for it. Is it possible to do this without those, especially if I want multiple pages?

Nope, you don't need a backend for a simple informational website. You can create a 'static site' using just HTML and CSS. It's totally doable, and you might even find it fun! Just keep in mind you'll have to learn how to create things like navigation bars and footers on each page, but that’s all part of the learning experience. If you want to get started quickly, you might consider using platforms like WordPress or Wix, but building it yourself can be rewarding!
I've used GoDaddy for my domains, and I started with Wix too. Now I'm just exploring how much I can create on my own using Notepad and Visual Studio Code.
