I'm looking to create a simple website for a side project, but I don't have any coding experience. I've noticed that many of the tools available either feel too limited or are overwhelming to use. I'm in search of recommendations for tools that are user-friendly yet still offer customization and a professional look. I want to avoid templates that all have the same look. I'd really appreciate hearing about any tools others have found helpful and enjoyable to work with!

You should definitely give WordPress.org a shot! It offers you loads of flexibility, letting you create a site that looks exactly how you want, even as a beginner. I use NixiHost for hosting, and I really like it because they're affordable, provide free email, and have an easy-to-use cPanel. It's a solid choice if you want something flexible but still user-friendly without needing to code.
I've been using Wonder CMS, and I really think it's great for total newbies. After working with WordPress for a while, I got tired of the hassles and hidden scripts that could complicate things. Wonder CMS is straightforward and cool, making it super easy to manage your pages without the coding stress!
If you're looking to build a website for a side project, I'd suggest trying out Framer. It's been gaining popularity in the web design world because its interface is similar to Figma, which is a user-friendly prototyping tool. Even if you're new to design, once you get the hang of Figma's basic features, you'll likely find Framer pretty straightforward too. I think you can try Framer for free, but definitely check out Figma first to familiarize yourself.
What do you mean by "hidden scripts"? I've worked with WordPress for a long time, and it's pretty well-documented. Are you referring to anything specific?
