Look for a "static site generator". Bearblog and Hugo are popular ones. Then you can host your site anywhere and don't have to worry about security problems.
are their security systems better than wp

From the Bearblog GitHub:
> Bear Blog has been built as a platform and not as an individual blog generator. It is more like Substack than Hugo. Due to this it isn't possible to individually self-host a Bear Blog.
Jekyll would an alternative for Hugo.

Bearblog is a service, not a static site generator one can use like Hugo. From the Bearblog GitHub: > Bear Blog has been built as a platform and not as an individual blog generator.

I love using WP for my blog and I've a self-hosted version. In your question "new websites for beginner" indicates that the user is a beginner and wants to build websites. If websites have simple and static content that don't involve any serious stuff (e.g. e-commerce) then WP is probably ok. But for serious work i won't use it.
For a simple website it’s overkill.
For a serious website there’s not much else that has the extensibility. Woocommerce is nearly unrivaled. There isn’t another ecosystem like it. I would think this community would lean towards the open source leaning products to the shopifys.
If you just want a website for cheap: Bearblog, carrd.co, etc.
if you want all the bells and whistles on a platter: Squarespace, Wix, etc.
if you want to supply all the HTML/CSS yourself: Github Pages or Cloudflare Pages.
(Later, if you want to host the above (except the "bells and whistles" tier) yourself: Hetzner, Digital Ocean, etc.)
If you’re building a static site - meaning, a site which does not have any forms which require backend functions - you should use a static site generator. If you’re not building a static site, I recommend starting with a static site. It’s just a lot less to keep in your head as a beginner.
My recommendation is Astro. I like it because it makes it easy and straightforward to create a static site. And, you will also learn JavaScript along the way, without building out a node backend or even anything on the front end.
But, if you really want to learn, I recommend noting. Yes, nothing. Just HTML files in a folder, a css stylesheet, maybe some JS files, and a web server. For deployment, you don’t need a web server config or a VPS. Just use cloud flare pages, link it up with GitHub, and boom, you have a static site.
Don’t be intimidated. If you do just HTML, you can learn a lot and you get the nitty gritty. You understand how the site actually functions from start to end.
I recommend looking at jamstack.org as they have a long list of options.
Personally, I enjoy Hugo, a Go based static site generator. Though if you're unsure then try a couple out and see which you like best.
