Chromium, Firefox... if you open the dev tools, you can edit everything, with it showing in the browser in real-time (WYSIWYG).

Firefox Developer Edition has some extra tools and debugging modes, but some are redundant if you're using VS Code.

If you're looking for a Dreamweaver-like thing, where you could drop elements with minimum HTML writing... you may want to check Seamonkey Composer.

For a simple personal website though, I'd recommend using a markdown editor, then either export it through a template, or have a template interpreter on the site, like GitHub Pages.

You can even use Markdown file and convert it dynamically to HTML using javascript through Markdeep by just dropping

<!-- Markdeep: --><style class="fallback">body{visibility:hidden;white-space:pre;font-family:monospace}</style><script src="markdeep.min.js"></script><script src="https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/latest/markdeep.min.js?"></script><script>window.alreadyProcessedMarkdeep||(document.body.style.visibility="visible")</script>

at the end of the markdown file. It makes it dead simple to update using a text editor later on and to host on a static website.
