i'm not a perfect coder in any way. but i'm actually willing to understand the concept of neocities and coding and i appreciate it, i don't come on here to flood neocities with new sites without passion, like they're just an "aesthetic" shell without anything behind it.
and nobody's telling you not to make money from making websites! people quite literally make living of off those, and it's great that people are able to turn hobbies into their careers. but you'd be doing every passioned person on here a favour by not bringing people who dont fit the criteria, into niche community like neocities.
being a beginner is okay, everyone starts somewhere, but on neocities the main point is to make something true to your heart's desires, not matter how little or how unexperienced you are, if your truly in love with the idea of web design, that love will be shown on screen. and people will appreciate you for it.
with that being said, if you really just want to have a site out there that's fine. but neocities isnt the place for you. go to other web hosting services, get a commission if thats what you really want.
it shouldn't be weird to expect new users to actually be interested in coding, thats what the point of it is.
